Cell Function Study Resources
Unit Outcomes
- Describe how the structure of the plasma membrane allows it to function as a regulatory structure and/or protective barrier for a cell
- Compare the mechanisms that transport materials across the plasma membrane (passive transport - diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion; and active transport - pumps, endocytosis, exocytosis)
- Describe how membrane-bound cellular organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus_ facilitate the transport of materials within a cell.
- Explain how organisms maintain homeostasis (thermoregulation, water regulation, oxygen regulation)
