1
Q
What is Diffusion?
A
is when particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
2
Q
What is Osmosis?
A
the movement of water particles from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water.
3
Q
What is Active Transport?
A
is when particles are pumped from a low concentration to a high concentration by carrier particles up the concentration gradient. This requires energy
