Molecular Biology
Learn about macromolecules, lipids, proteins and other molecular components of the cell.
Protein Function
Proteins are very important molecules in our cells. Each protein within the body has a specific function.

Diffusion, Passive Transport, and Osmosis
Diffusion is the tendency of molecules to spread into an available space. Without other outside forces at work, substances will move/diffuse from a more concentrated environment to a less concentrated environment.
