A cell is the basic unit of an organism and is composed of
3 major parts
Diffusion example
A molecule that crosses the membrane by moving from high to low and does not need cellular energy
If there was 100mEq of Na+ inside the cell and 50mEq of Na+ outside the cell, the concentration is said to be higher inside the cell
