Plasma Membrane and Transport Mechanisms

Cell Structure Basics → Bulk Transport

This learning path introduces high school students to the structure and function of the plasma membrane, focusing on the phospholipid bilayer, membrane proteins, and the various mechanisms of transport across the membrane. Starting with basic concepts like diffusion, the path builds a solid understanding of passive and active transport, including osmosis, and emphasizes the importance of the membrane in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
