Cards for diffusion, osmosis and active transport

Question 1

Diffusion

Answer 1

Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

Question 2

Osmosis

Answer 2

Where only water moves across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution.

Question 3

Active transport

Answer 3

The movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane in a region of higher concentration, assisted by Enzymes and requiring energy
