Diffusion and Osmosis

What is diffusion?

• when molecules move 
• when molecules move from a high concentration to a low.
• no movement 
• molecules move everywhere

Osmosis is the movement of _____ across a membrane.

• food
• energy
• oxygen
• water

During osmosis

• water moves from high to low concentration
• large or oddly shaped molecules move across a cell membrane
• water moves when energy is used
• proteins are built

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

• Osmosis
• Diffusion
• Equilibrium

Passive transport requires no

• concentration gradients
• osmosis
• motion
• energy

Equilibrium?

• a large  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a small amount on the other side
• a small  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a large amount on the otherside
• equal amount of substance on either side of the membrane  
• no particles on either side of the a cell membrane

Which way will the water molecules move during osmosis?

• 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.
