Through technological advances of microscopes humans are able to detect tiny molecules cells and subcellular structures that turn out to be the most important thing structures for of every living creature on this planet which are cells. The cell theory states every living organism is made up of cells and that all cells arise from preexisting cells Cell structure is highly complex with many internal structures. Cells contain the instructions for our genetic makeup and errors in these instructions are called mutations. Cells emerge from parent cells, inheriting genes from their parent cells. The main functions of cells are to gain nutrients and create control chemical reactions along metabolic pathways. Plant cells synthesize food through photosynthesis

Mechanisms of active transports include ATP- dependent pumps creating energy from ATP in order to carry solutes and light-driven pumps use the energy from the sunlight to remove solutes. Integral proteins act as the gateway of large molecules into the membrane whereas peripheral proteins bind substances into the cell, this is also known as the passive transport mechanism. Passive transport require no energy the most common types of passive transport are simple diffusion which passively moves the solute form higher or lower concentration in order to be balanced, facilitated diffusion which is when molecules are moved through special transport molecules within the membrane, filtration the movement of water and solute through the membrane, and osmosis which transports water molecules. An act of cell recognition is organisms with multiple cells have the to ability to allow cells into the the membrane that belong, and disallow cells that are foreign this process is known as the immune …show more content…
For example gases can be easily diffused into the lipid bilayer such as when the body inhales oxygen (O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) when exhaling, this process allows the concentration of oxygen to gradually reduce throughout the body. The molecules will move around the body from higher to lower concentration in order to reach the state of equilibrium, the forces acting are equal to one another, once the molecules have been distributed equally throughout the body. There are a few types of diffusion the first being Osmosis also known as bulk flow in the text, this process involves diffusing water in and out of the membrane. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion using water molecules to pass through the lipid bilayer, water can flood out bad toxins in the cells and also creates a hydrogen-bound strand inside the membrane. In reference to osmosis and tonicity meaning the strength of the solution, water moves throughout the body into areas of lower or higher concentrations of
