Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, and Osmosis

Diffusion & Facilitated Diffusion are both __________ transport.

• Passive

• Active

• Easy

• Free

Passive Transport is the movement of particles across the membrane from an area of [ ___ ] to an area of [ ___ ]

• high to low

• low to high

• low to low

• high to high

Passive Transport uses ____ energy

• no

• a lot of

• a little bit of

• some

_____________ is the free movement of particles across the membrane with the concentration gradient

• diffusion

• facilitated diffusion

• active transport

• fusion

Passive Transport is the movement of particles _________ the concentration gradient.

• with

• against

• opposing

• throughout

What is the movement of particles with the concentration gradient using protein "helpers"?

• diffusion

• facilitated diffusion

• active transport

• enzymatic reactions

Facilitated diffusion needs what to get particles from one side of the membrane to the other?

• a membrane-spanning protein

• a surface protein

• a phospholipid

• a carbohydrate

What is a difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion?

• movement of particles from [high] to [low]

• a protein "helper"

• movement of particles from [low] to [high]

• energy

What is diffusion?

• When molecules move from a low concentration to a high concentration

• When molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration.

• When there is no movement of molecules

• When molecules move everywhere regardless of concentration

Osmosis is specifically.....

• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable mebrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

• the diffusion of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

• the diffusion of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
