What is the relationship between the partition coefficient and the capacity of a solute to travel across a lipid bilayer? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a It is a positive relationship: the higher the partition coefficient P, the more penetrating the solute b It is a negative relationship: the higher the partition coefficient P, the less penetrating the solute c There is no link between the partition coefficient P and the penetrating capacity of the solute d The partition coefficient of a solute has to be negative to allow a movement across the membrane
