  • Exchanging Substances
    • Diffusion
      • Net movement of particles of area of high conc to area of low conc down conc gradient.
      • greater difference in conc, faster rate of diffusion
      • glucose/O2 move by diffusion
    • Osmosis
      • movement of water from dilute to conc thru partially permeable membrane.
      • important to plant cells
        • keep cells turgor
      • Isotonic- con of solutes outside=inside
      • hypERtonic- HIGH INSIDE then OUT
      • hyPOtonic-HIGH inside then out
    • Active transport
      • move against conc gradient
      • uses energy from respiration
      • absorb ions from dilute solutions
    • Exchanging materials
      • large surface area
      • thin walls
      • efficient blood supply
      • ventilated
