Cell Membrane

Click here to read more about the cell membrane. Be sure to read the information about passive and active transport as this will be discussed in class this week. Also, feel free to check out the cell structure and function tabs to review the information we have been covering in class.

Do you want to learn more about the different types of protein channels that make up the cell membrane? Click here to view an animation on this subject. Did you take the quiz at the end of the animation? How did you do?
