Cell transport

Today, we had our second "college-style" lecture.  I discussed four types of cell transport:

• Simple Diffusion
• Facilitated Diffusion
• Active Transport
• Endocytosis / Exocytosis

All these types of cellular transport are dependent on the wacky, weird fluid mosaic nature of the membrane - that it is both a solid barrier and a fluid, bendable, mendable, breakable substance.

By popular demand, I have posted the Powerpoint as a PDF.  You can find it here: Cell Transport Lecture

I have also gone back to my post about the Endomembrane System and posted the Powerpoint.  You can now find all Powerpoints by clicking on the "Lecture Notes" label in the buckets app at the right side of the blog.

Homework

For homework, consult textbook pages 92-95 in order to do you assessment statements based on the lecture.  You should be able to complete 2.4.5-2.4.8.

NOTE: All classes meet in the lab tomorrow.  Report directly to lab!
