Q

Active Transport

A

Particle movement from an area of low to high concentration

17
Q

Osmosis

A

The diffusion of water through a cell membrane

18
Q

Passive transport/Diffusion

A

The movement of substances through a cell membrane without ATP

19
Q

Transport protein

A

Used to help substances enter/exit a cell membrane

20
Q

Active Transport

A

When energy is required to move materials through a cell membrane
