CIE A Level Biology复习笔记4.2.3 Active Transport
The Process of Active Transport Active transport is the movement of molecules and ions through a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy ...
CIE A Level Biology复习笔记4.2.2 Osmosis
The Process of Osmosis All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane which is partially permeable Water can move in and out of cells by osmosis Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from a dilu...
CIE A Level Biology复习笔记4.2.1 Diffusion
Diffusion & Facilitated Diffusion Diffusion is a type of transportation that occurs across the cell membrane It can be defined as: The net movement, as a result of the random motion of its mole...

CIE A Level Biology复习笔记4.1.1 The Fluid Mosaic Model
The Fluid Mosaic Model of Membranes Membranes are vital structures found in all cells The cell surface membrane creates an enclosed space separating the internal cell environment from the external ...
CIE A Level Biology复习笔记3.2.8 Enzyme Activity: Immobilised v Free
Enzyme Activity: Immobilised v Free Enzymes can be added to solutions and are thereby considered ‘free’ or they can be immobilised Immobilised enzymes are enzymes that have been bound to an inert, ...
CIE A Level Biology复习笔记3.2.7 Enzyme Inhibitors
Enzyme Inhibitors An enzyme's activity can be reduced or stopped, temporarily, by a reversible inhibitor There are two types of reversible inhibitors: Competitive inhibitors have a similar shape to...
