Back

Osmosis

Front

What is the process called when solutes move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without using energy?

Back

Passive Transport

What is the difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another called?

Back

Concentration Gradient

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

Back

The cell will swell and perhaps burst (lyse).

What type of transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient?

Back

Active Transport

Front

What is the term for the movement of small molecules or ions across the cell membrane without energy?

Back

Diffusion

Front

What is the main difference between passive transport and active transport?

Back

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