Understanding Cellular Borders and Transport - Week 5

This episode unpacks the essentials of cellular plasma membranes, their structural components, and the proteins that enable their crucial functions. Learn about passive transport mechanisms like osmosis and diffusion, along with active processes powered by ATP, described as "molecular fuel." From "salty fries" analogies to discussions on proton pumps, this is your guide to how cells manage selective permeability and molecular movement.
