Biology Chapter 6 Notes
Chapter 6 explores the significance of membranes in biological evolution and cellular life. It begins by discussing the hypothesis that biological evolution originated from self-replicating molecules enclosed within membranes. These membranes, particularly the plasma membrane, act as selective barriers, separating life from nonlife and regulating the passage of substances. Their role in concentrating reactants within cells promotes efficient chemical reactions. The chapter dives into the formation of membranes, the selective permeability of ions and molecules, and the fundamental role of lipids as the foundation of these essential cellular boundaries.
