Q: By what process can materials move in and out of cells and how are these movements regulated? The human body is made of many different cells, each of these cells have different structures and carry out different functions to make the body work properly. So from this you can make the assumption that because the cells have different functions and structures the way that materials pass through the cell surface membrane are different to suit each process and cell. My task is to investigate the ways that cells use, to move materials in and out of the cell surface membrane and look into ways that this movement can take place. The surface of the membrane is designed to allow the passing of materials as it is partially permeable, this means that in the membrane there are pores, which allow smaller molecules through, but not the larger more solute molecules....
