Introduction to cell membrane & transport
Cell membrane and transport is a core JC1 topic in H2 BIO A levels. This topic identifies the structure as well as function of the components of the cell membranes. In addition, the way different substances get transported across these membranes. Also, it builds upon the foundation of biomolecules.
