Expert Solution
Introduction

All living cells, must get a supply of essential substances like nutrients electrolytes, water, etc. At the same time, the cells must get rid of many unwanted substances or toxic substances. Thus, transporting substances in and out of the cell is one of the basic functions. Cell membranes are semipermeable and various modes of transport are used for transporting different kinds of substances.
