Q
Water in and out cells
A
Diffusion- Net movement of particles from an area of high to low concentration. Molecules diffuse until they are evenly spread out- equilibrium.
Active Transport- Low to high concentration, requires energy. Cell uses large proteins in membrane to act as pumps to move particles
Osmosis- Diffusion of water across selectively permeable membranes. Water moves from high to low concentration
