Question 1

What is diffusion

Answer 1

A movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Question 2

Does diffusion require energy

Answer 2

No

Question 3

How can we increase the rate of diffusion

Answer 3

-by increasing:
the temperature
the surface area
and the difference in concentrations

Question 4

What is osmosis

Answer 4

The movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a partially permeable membrane

Question 5

What is active transport

Answer 5

The movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration against a gradient
