1 In the intracellular compartment there is more concentration of protein and potassium ion Sodium potassium pump is responsble for high concentration of potassium which actively transports sodium out of and potassium into the cell at a ratio of 32 2 Some molecules can diffuse through the cell membrane without any assistance from the cell Others require the help of transmembrane proteins to move into or out of the cell Primary factors which determine whether a molecule will diffuse across a cell membrane are concentration charge and size The primary determinant of whether a molecule will diffuse across a cell membrane is the concentration of the molecule    See Answer
