Osmosis Difussion And Active Transport Flashcards
What is the process by which substances move across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient?
Active transport
True or False: Active transport requires energy input.
True
Fill in the blank: Active transport moves substances from an area of ______ concentration to an area of higher concentration.
lower
What is the process by which water molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
True or False: Osmosis is a passive process.
True
Fill in the blank: Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of ______ solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
lower
What is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
Diffusion
True or False: Diffusion requires a membrane to occur.
False
Fill in the blank: Diffusion is driven by the ______ gradient of the molecules.
concentration
In which process, active transport, osmosis, or diffusion, do molecules move against their concentration gradient?
