1
Q
Diffusion
A
Ney movement of particles from a high concentration to low concentration
2
Q
Simple diffusion
A
Diffusion occurring without the presence of a barrier/membrane
3
Q
Partially permeable membrane
A
Small polar molecules able to pass through membrane but larger molecules have more difficulty
4
Q
Facilitated diffusion
A
Diffusion across a membrane through protein channels
5
