Cell Transport

Front

What process occurs when WATER diffuses across a membrane?

Back

Osmosis

Front

During osmosis, what direction does water move?

Back

Water moves from high to low concentration.

Front

What does permeable mean?

Back

Things can pass through.

Front

What is the movement of particles from high to low concentration called?

Back

Passive Transport.

Front

What does 'high concentration area' mean?

Back

Tightly packed together.

Front

What is the main difference between passive and active transport?

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport does.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane in transport?

Back

It regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

A process where molecules pass through the cell membrane via special proteins.

Front

What is osmosis specifically related to?

Back

The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
