Multiple Choice
The partition coefficient K,the equilibrium constant for partitioning between oil and water,for butyric acid is about 10-²,and for 1,4-butanediol it is about 10-⁴.You add liposomes containing only water to a solution with an initial concentration of 1 mM butyric acid and 100 mM 1,4-butanediol outside the liposomes.What is the relative rate of diffusion of the two substances into the liposome interior?
A) Butyric acid diffuses into the liposome 100-fold faster than butanediol.
B) The two diffuse into the liposome at equal rates.
C) Butanediol diffuses into the liposome 100-fold faster than butanediol.
D) Not enough information is provided to permit an answer.
