the cell
the structure that controls what enters and leaves the cell
what is the plasma membrane?
transport that requires ATP energy is called this
what is active transport?
this tissue type covers body surfaces and lines organs and cavities

a solution with the same solute concentration as the cell is called this.
what is an isotonic solution?
these proteins are embedded within the plasma membrane and span across it
what are integral proteins
