1 Urea passively crosses biological membranes but its permeability is low because of its low solubility in the lipid bilayer Some cells speed up this process through urea transporters which move urea by facilitated diffusion Urea is passively reabsorbed in the proximal tubule but its route of transport is not clear They then diffuse in to the capillaries so it can pass through membranes by lipid diffusion Since this is a passive process urea diffuses down its concentration gradient until the    See Answer
