They observed that for every molecule of carbon dioxide taken in by the plants, they lost forty-four percent less water.

And that's all that's big enough to pass through or small enough to pass through. And if we go up even just one row on the periodic table to potassium, what we actually see is now that it's going to be too large, and, in fact, a potassium solvated with one water molecule won't go through our channel.

就是这样刚好大到它通过,或者说刚好小到它通过,即使我们再沿着周期表往下走仅仅一行到钾离子，我们看到的就将是它的个头太大了，实际上，溶解于一个水分子的单个钾离子,不能穿过我们的通道。

It's very water soluble and it's a big molecule, a very big molecule; it can't naturally get inside cells on its own.

它是一个水溶性极强的大分子,非常非常大的分子,质粒在自然状态下并不能自己进入细胞

Now this behaves very differently in water because part of it is water soluble, this part is, it's a molecule that would like to dissolve in water and part of it is like oil, it doesn't want to dissolve in water.

它们在水中表现出十分不同性质,因为一部分是水溶性的,这一部分是,是一种可以溶于水的分子,而另一部分就像油,不会溶于水中
