Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 1CYL
Summary Introduction
To explain: The process of diffusion.
Introduction: Movements of ions and molecules across the cell membrane are regulated by a set of transport mechanisms that are collectively termed as membrane transport mechanisms. The transport mechanisms include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
