Diffusion and Osmosis

Diffusion is the movement of particles from __1__ concentration to __2__ concentration until they are __3__ spread out.

• 3

• higher

• 1

• evenly

• 2

• lower

Match the following

• Amount of substance in a given space

• Selectively Permeable Membrane

• Allows some materials to pass through but keeps other materials out

• Osmosis

• Diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane

• Diffusion

• Movement of particles from an area of concentration to an area of lower concentratioin

• Concentration

Pick all that apply: Passive Transport

• Osmosis

• Simple Diffusion

• Doesn't require Energy

• Molecules move from low concentration to high concentration

What is the process by which water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane?

Why is diffusion so important in biology?

• It's the basic power source for most types of cells

• It allows substances to move across cell membranes

• It prevents toxins from entering our bodies

• Without diffusion, cell division could not take place
