Transport across the cell membrane is essential for cells to exchange materials with their environment and maintain homeostasis. Types of transport across cell membrane mechanisms Passive transport across cell membrane Passive transport does not require energy input from the cell, as it relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration … Read more
Structure and functions of cell: Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. They can be classified into two main types: prokaryotic cells (found in bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotic cells (found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists). Both cell types share some basic structures and functions, but eukaryotic cells are generally larger … Read more
Basic anatomical terminology is essential for accurate and effective communication in the fields of anatomy, physiology, and medicine. These terms provide a standardized way to describe the location, orientation, and relationships of body structures. Some fundamental anatomical terms include Anatomical Position A reference point for describing the location and orientation of body structures. The anatomical … Read more
