What happened

Our cells' membranes have many functions.

They not only provide mechanical protection but also precisely control which substances enter or leave cells.

If they fail to perform these tasks, disease can result.

Key facts

Forest fire smoke reduces bird diversity, study suggests

When forests burn, the direct consequences are obvious: houses go up in flames and habitats are destroyed. The damage caused by smoke extending far beyond the fire area is less visible.
