A plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer that prevents hydrophilic solutes, such as sodium ions and potassium ions, from freely entering the cell. By contrast, most solutes that are very small, hydrophobic, or non-polar are able to cross the plasma membrane under appropriate conditions. Which statement best describes a condition that would enable a hydrophobic solute to enter the cell? A. The pH is lower outside the cell than inside the cell. B. The pH is higher outside the cell than inside the cell. C. The solute is more concentrated outside the cell than inside the
