</script>Transport processes are an integral part of biological function. For example, the energy converting processes which we have discussed in the previous chapters need a continuous supply of substrates and a continuous disposal of products and waste. It is evident that there can be no respiration when there are no means for oxygen and substrates (glucose) to penetrate the cells and the organelles; carbon dioxide has to be removed as well. Often, ATP produced at one point in the cell must be transported to another. Many other substances, neutral as well as charged, have to be transported in order to make vital processes function.
