3

Happens

________ in both liquids and gases- the particles there are free to move about randomly.

New cards
4

Diffusion

________ is the gradual movement of particles from places where there are lots to where there are fewer.

New cards
5

Substances

________ can move in and out of cells via diffusion, active transport, and osmosis.

New cards
6

Water molecules

________ pass both ways through the membrane during osmosis.

New cards
7

Active transport

________ allows nutrients to be taken into the blood, despite the fact that the concentration gradient is the wrong way.

Definition

________: ‘ Active Transport is the movement of particles against a concentration (i.e: from a lower concentration to a higher concentration) using energy released during respiration.

New cards
9

Technical Definition

________: the ‘ net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

New cards

Technical definition

________: ‘ Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water.
