16
Q

what is diffusion?

A

the spreading out of particles of any substance in solution or a gas. moving from high concentration to low concentration

17
Q

what effects rate of diffusion?

A

concentration
temperature
surface area

18
Q

what is osmosis?

A

a special case of diffusion, the movement of water from a dilute to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane that allows
water to pass through

19
Q

how can animal cells be damaged in osmosis?

A

if concentration outside the shell changes dramatically

20
Q

what does osmosis in plant cells help maintain?

21
Q

what is active transport?

A

it moves substances from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution

22
Q

how does active transport get the energy needed for the movement?

A

it uses energy released from food in respiration

23
Q

why do single celled organisms have a relatively large surface area to volume ratio?

A

so all necessary exchanges with the environment take place over this surface

24
Q

what do exchange surfaces have?

A

large surface area and thin walls

25
how are the cells in the small intestine adapted for active transport?
many mitochondria to release energy for active transport
26
what is the function of mitochondria?
the site of respiration where energy is released
27
what is the function of a permanent vacuole?
contains sap and enzymes also stores excess water
