Question
Chapter 3.3, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To distinguish:
Among osmosis, diffusion and facilitated transport along with their roles in the cell.
Introduction:
The plasma membrane is an outer membrane of the cell that is composed of a phospholipid bilayer. The membrane separates the interior and the exterior environment. In this way, it allows only some specific molecules to enter into the cytoplasm.
