Active transport allows a cell to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

• True
• False

Even though the concentration of salt is high in some gland cells and low in the blood, these cells can move salt out of blood and into the cells.  This is an example of

• passive transport
• active transport
• diffusion
• osmosis

_____________ allows some things to enter and leave cells, while keeping other things out of the cell.

• Osmosis
• Fermentation
• A selectively permeable membrane
• Metabolism

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from

• an area of equilibrium to an area of high concentration.
• an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
• an area of high concentration to an area of high concentration.
• an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

The diffusion of water across a membrane is called

• equilibrium.
• osmosis.
• facilitated diffusion.
• active transport.

The roots of a plant contain a high concentration of minerals and the soil contains a lower concentration.  The roots absorb minerals from the soil.  This is an example of
