Introduction to cellular biophysics. Volume 1, Membrane transport mechanisms /

All living matter is comprised of cells and, when studied by different sciences, they are seen differently. From a physics standpoint, one of the main questions is the physical movement of all these molecules between organelles within the cell, as well as their exchange with the extracellular medium...
