Understanding Active Transport: Energy-Driven Cellular Processes
Active transport is a vital process in cells that require energy in the form of ATP to move materials across the plasma membrane against their concentration gradient. This process involves pumps, endocytosis, and exocytosis. The sodium-potassium pump in nerve cells is a classic example of active tra

Comparison of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells in Cell Biology
Cells are the fundamental units of life, but viruses are an exception as they lack cells. Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus with a nuclear membrane housing chromosomes, while prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles. Eukaryotic cells are larger, containing membrane-
