    No? Water can’t carry anything across the membrane.

      Oh. Then how does the stuff get across the membrane? Does the membrane allow stuff to move over a concentration gradient without the water?

        Water can move freely across the membrane, but the stuff that’s dissolved in the water cannot move across the membrane.
