4
Q
Diffusion
A
The overall movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration
5
Q
Osmosis
A
The overall movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher waiter concentration to a region of lower water concentration
6
Q
Active transport
A
Active transport is the overall movement across a membrane against the concentration gradient e.g. From a lower concentration to a higher concentration using energy transferred in respiration
7
Q
Partially permeable membrane
A
Memebrane with very small holes In only water molecules can fit through
