Paasive Transport

Question 0

Factors affecting rate of diffusion

Answer 0

Concentration gradient: diffusion rates will be higher if difference is
Distande
Area-larger area, greater rate
Barriers-thicker barriers slow diffusion rate

Question 1

Diffusion

Answer 1

Movement of molecules from high to low concentration.

Question 2

Answer 5

Low to high

Question 6

Hypotonic

Answer 6

Water concentration is higher than cell

Question 7

Hypertonic

Answer 7

Water concentration is lower than the cell (plants like this)
