- Passive transport involves unassisted diffusion down a concentration gradient, while active transport uses transport proteins and cellular energy to move substances against their gradients.
1) Membranes are composed of a bilayer of phospholipids with embedded and attached proteins. Membrane proteins perform many functions including cell shape maintenance, signaling, transport, and more.
2) Passive transport is diffusion across membranes without energy expenditure. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across selectively permeable membranes down its concentration gradient.
3) Enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions, increasing the reaction rate without being consumed. Each enzyme is highly specific to its substrate due to the shape of its active site.
The document discusses cell membrane structure and function. It describes the cell membrane as a semi-permeable barrier made of lipids and proteins that surrounds the cell cytoplasm. The membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell and helps maintain its shape. Substances can pass through the membrane through diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport, active transport, endocytosis, and exocytosis. The membrane plays a key role in cellular processes and transport.
The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell through selective permeability. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with hydrophobic tails facing inward and hydrophilic heads outward. Membrane proteins perform various functions like identification, signaling, catalysis, and transport. Substances move across the membrane through passive diffusion down a concentration gradient or active transport against a gradient using ATP. Water moves through osmosis, entering cells in hypotonic solutions and leaving in hypertonic solutions. Cells specialize and communicate to maintain homeostasis in multicellular organisms.

This chapter discusses microtubules and intermediate filaments, which are types of cytoskeletal filaments that help organize and move cellular components. Microtubules are involved in processes like cell division and intracellular transport, while intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength and help integrate the nucleus with the cytoplasm. Together, these filaments play important structural and functional roles in eukaryotic cells.
This chapter discusses microfilaments, which are one of the three main types of cytoskeletal filaments found in eukaryotic cells. Microfilaments are composed of actin filaments and play important roles in cell motility, structure, and intracellular transport. They allow cells to change shape and to move by contracting or extending parts of the cell surface.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
