BIOMEMBRANES

Biomembranes I: Membrane Structure and Transport

Introduction

This BioCoach activity will help you review the structure of membranes and the variety of ways in which materials travel across membranes by active or passive processes. A companion BioCoach activity, Biomembranes II, reviews the dynamic behavior of membranes, as well as the mechanisms by which membranes allow communication between cells and the formation of multicellular tissues.

Cell Structure and Function

Introduction

This BioCoach module is designed to help you review cell structure. You will find information about the structure of prokaryotic cells and the structure of eukaryotic cells, with a focus on the latter. Animations and interactive activities will enrich your review experience in a dynamic way. This module is designed to be a supplement to, but not a replacement for, your textbook and classroom notes. You can test your understanding of morphology and function of the key structural components described by using the Self-Quiz at the end of the module.
