16
Q

Factors that effect diffusion

A

1: Increase the concentration gradient(a bigger difference between the two areas)
2: Temperature the higher the tempreture the faster the diffusion will be.
3: The surface area of exchange surface
4: Shorter diffusion distance

17
Q

Why is diffusion important

A

Diffusion is important because it delivers nutrients and gets rid of waste products

21
Q

Xylem cells

22
Q

Osmosis

A

From low to high concentration

23
Q

Active transport

A

Active transport is the process by which dissolved molecules move across a cell membrane from low to high

24
Q

Active transport

A

Up against the gradient
