Define diffusion

Diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

2
New cards

Define osmosis

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high-water concentration to an area of lower water concentration across a semi-(selectively)-permeable membrane.

3
New cards

Define active transport

Active Transport is the movement of particles across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient (i.e. area of low to high concentration).

4
New cards

Define passive transport

Does not require ATP.

5
New cards

Requires ATP.
