Chapter 5.5, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The observations about particular cell types in the human body that were the basis of experimental strategy.
Introduction: The passive transports involve downhill movement of molecules without the expenditure of energy. The downhill transport means the movement of the molecules from the region of the high concentration to the region of their low concentration. It has a slower rate of diffusion because of its dependency to the difference between the concentrations of the solute.
