Chapter 5.1, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The importance of cell membrane that bound cell organelles and cell membrane.
Introduction:
A eukaryotic cell consists of many organelles. These organelles are generally membrane-bound. The cell also has a cell membrane that functions as a selective barrier for various molecules and substances. The membranes are made up of lipid molecules.
