Cell Transport

Front

The diffusion of particles through the cell membrane from high to low concentration is called ....

Back

Passive transport

Front

When both inside and outside of a cell have the same amount of water it is said that the cell has reached a state of ___________.

Back

Equilibrium

Front

The picture is an example of _________________ (showing particles moving).

Back

Diffusion

Front

What does 'high concentration area' mean?

Back

Tightly packed together

Front

When particles move from areas of high concentration to areas less concentrated, this has taken place.

Back

Diffusion

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

Define active transport.

Back

The movement of particles against a concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Front

What is equilibrium in the context of cell transport?

Back

A state where the concentration of substances is equal inside and outside the cell.

Front

What is the role of the cell membrane in transport?

Back

It regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.

Front

What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?

Back

Diffusion refers to the movement of solute particles, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water.
