Active/Passive Transport

Front

What is Active Transport?

Back

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

Front

What is Passive Transport?

Back

The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.

Front

What is Osmosis?

Back

The movement of water particles through a selectively permeable membrane.

Front

What happens to a gummy bear placed in water?

Back

The gummy bear will swell due to osmosis.

Front

What does Active Transport require?

Back

Energy.

Front

What is Diffusion?

Back

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

Front

What is a Selectively Permeable Membrane?

Back

A membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.

Front

What direction do water molecules move when placed in corn syrup?

Back

Out of the egg.

Front

What is Equilibrium in terms of concentration?

Back

A state where the concentration of particles is equal on both sides of a membrane.

Front

What is the role of energy in Active Transport?

Back

Energy is required to move particles against their concentration gradient.
