Diffusion, osmosis and active transport Flashcards
1
Q
Diffusion
A
Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
2
Q
Osmosis
A
The movement of water from an area of high water potential to one with low water potential through a partially membrane
3
Q
Active transport
A
Movement of particles from an area with low concentration to one with high concentration (up a concentration gradient) therefore it requires energy
