Cell Function: B2.2 & B2.3

Everything in life is made of cells.  Humans start from the combination of two cells and eventually develop into organisms with billions of cells while other organisms are made of only one cell.  The structure of cells leads specifically to it's function.  In this unit we will examine different types of cells, their structure, functions, and means of transport across the membrane.
