Membrane Transport and Cell Signaling

Study of the fluid mosaic model and how cells communicate through signal transduction pathways.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do cells maintain homeostasis against steep concentration gradients?
  2. 2In what ways does a failure in signal transduction lead to the development of cancer?
  3. 3Why is the cell membrane considered the brain of the cell rather than just a boundary?
