Semi-permeable
ability to select molecules and ion that can pass through it
regulate flow of biomolecules and allow two way traffic of nutrients
cell membrane
is any process, active or passive, by which a substance moves from one side of a membranetotheothersideofthe membrane.
membrane transport
requires no input of cellular energy.
passive transport
net movement of molecules from an
area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
diffusion
When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called
equilibrium
Factors affecting the rate of diffusion
magnitude of concentration difference across the membrane
Size and shape of particles of solute
temperature
Movement of solute from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
osmosis
