1
Q

A
The net movement of water across a partially permeable membrane, from a high concentration of water molecules to a low concentration of water molecules
2
Q
Diffusion
A
The net movement of particles, down their concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
3
Q
Active transport
A
Net movement of particles, against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to high concentration using energy
