Mass Transport
infoWhy this? Mass transport explains how large multicellular organisms overcome the limitations of diffusion to supply cells and remove waste. Studying circulation and exchange with tissue fluid connects the structure of the heart and blood vessels with coordinated transport and cardiovascular health.
scheduleWhy now? Gas exchange, digestion and absorption, membrane transport, and the properties of water provide the basis for understanding movement between exchange surfaces and cells. We now connect these processes through transport systems, establishing principles that are extended in plant mass transport.
