    Quinn Wang
    This document contains a reading guide with questions about membrane transport and cell signaling from a biology textbook chapter. It includes 30 questions over 6 concepts covering topics like membrane structure, passive and active transport mechanisms, endocytosis and exocytosis, and intracellular and intercellular signaling pathways. The questions require defining key terms, explaining processes like facilitated diffusion and proton pumps, comparing transport types, and diagramming signaling receptor pathways.
