Abstract
An intrinsic difficulty in the study of biological membrane transport stems from the multiplicity of transport systems which developed under very strong evolutive pressure due to the capital importance of membrane function for survival. Different membrane transport systems often functionally overlap, thus greatly complicating the investigation of the dependence of transport on physical parameters. A specific complexity appears in the study of temperature effect on membrane transport because of the influence of both average temperature and temperature gradients. Perhaps this circumstance explains why only few studies of the effect of temperature on biological membrane transport have been published in animal (1–4) and plant cells (5–8), in contrast with the keen interest on the role of temperature and temperature gradients on artificial membrane transport (9–25).
