absorbing mineral ions and water Flashcards
1
Q
what does diffusion transport?
A
water, carbon dioxide and oxygen
2
Q
what does osmosis transport?
A
water
3
Q
what does active transport transport?
A
sugars, amino acids, inorganic and organic ions
4
Q
what is the concentration gradient?
A
when particles is high is one area than the other
5
Q
why is active transport needed to transport molecules?
A
often substances have to be moved from low concentration to high concentration against a concentration gradient. active transport is the process that is required to move molecules against a concentration gradient
6
Q
how do molecules move by osmosis?
A
from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules through a cell’s partially permeable membrane
