In the first Module of Credit Unit 2, you will explore the variety of ways the cell membrane controls what moves in and out of the cell. In Modules 2 and 3 of Credit Unit 1, you got a brief look at the cell membrane, examining the molecules that make up the cell membrane. The cell membrane can easily be considered the most important component of the cell, and as such, this Module builds upon the basics presented already in this course. There is a heavy emphasis on the Labs associated with this topic, and as such, you will have to do a bit of time budgeting to complete the Module in a timely fashion.
