To start their negative (or positive) role in plants or in human body, the elements and the compounds, which are present in polluted environment, must be transported into these organisms, more precisely, into their cells. In other words, each pollution particle, which takes part further in metabolic processes, must be transported across the cell membranes. Similar processes are realized in the opposite way - out of the cells as well as in and out of any sub-cellular structure. Detail elucidation of transport mechanisms is prerequisite for understanding of distribution of pollutants in real cells of more complex organisms (leaves, roots or the whole plants, animals or men) and for their possible control in the future.
