Students will begin their study of cellular transport with in-depth study of the plasma membrane which surrounds the cell. They will start their study with the specific chemical composition of the plasma membrane and the specific functions that it is responsible for. Then they will continue with a study of different ways that materials can be transported into and out of the cell. This study will include learning about non-membrane protein transport, membrane protein transport and other types of transport that the cell is able to do.
