Passive Transport

Passive transport is called "passive" because it occurs WITHOUT

• cause.
• energy.
• a concentration gradient.
• a cell wall.

Osmosis is the diffusion of _____ across a membrane

• glucose
• NaCl
• proteins
• water

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

• True
• False

What process occurs when WATER diffuses across a membrane?

• endocytosis
• mitosis
• osmosis
• nuclear fission 

Which way will the water molecules move during osmosis Hint those  mickey mouse molecules are water not solutes?

• Out of the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Out of the cell, so the cell swells.
• Into the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Into the cell, so the cell swells.

Movement of particles from high to low concentration. 

• Passive Transport
• Active Transport

Osmosis is a form of ______________. 

• Passive Transport
• Active Transport

Solutes move with the concentration gradient, therefore no energy is used. 

• Passive Transport
• Active Transport
