    Study Notes

    Cell Biology

    • The primary function of the cell membrane is to regulate what enters and leaves the cell, while also providing structural support and maintaining the cell's shape.

    Cellular Transport

    • The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called diffusion.
    • There are two main types of cellular transport: passive transport, which does not require energy, and active transport, which requires energy.

    Cellular Energy

    • The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for generating most of the cell's energy through a process called cellular respiration.

    Cell Specialization

    • The process by which cells become specialized to perform specific functions is called differentiation.
    • Differentiation allows cells to adapt to their environment and perform unique roles within an organism.

    Active Transport

    • Active transport is a type of cellular transport that requires energy and involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient.
