• Membrane curvature — is the geometrical measure or characterization of the curvature of membranes. The membranes can be naturally occurring or man made (synthetic). An example of naturally occurring membrane is the lipid bilayer of cells, also known as cellular… …   Wikipedia

• Membrane potential — Differences in concentration of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane lead to a voltage called the membrane potential. Many ions have a concentration gradient across the membrane, including potassium (K+), which is at a high inside and a… …   Wikipedia

• Cellular respiration — in a typical eukaryotic cell. Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release… …   Wikipedia

• Membrane computing — is an area within computer science that seeks to discover new computational models from the study of biological cells, particular of the cellular membranes. It is a sub task of creating a cellular model. Membrane computing or MC deals with… …   Wikipedia

• Cellular compartment — Cellular compartments in cell biology comprise all closed parts within a cell, usually surrounded by a single or double lipid layer membrane. Most organelles are compartments like mitochondria, chloroplasts (in photosynthetic organisms),… …   Wikipedia
