Q

Passive forms of movement

A

Diffusion - movement of ions from higher concentration to lower

Osmosis - movement of water across semipermeable membrane from higher to lower

Filtration - water forces across membrane due to hydrostatic pressure

Facilitated diffusion - big substances helped by carriers
