  • osmosis and active transport
    • osmosis
      • water potential is the likelihood of water molecules to diffuse out of or into a solution
        • pure water  has the highest water potential
      • factors that affect rate
        • water potential gradient
          • the higher the gradient the faster osmosis
        • thickness of exchange surface
          • the thinner the faster
        • surface area of exchange surface
          • the larger the SA the faster
    • active transport
      • against concentration gradient
      • uses carrier and channel proteins
      • needs energy
        • ATP
          • undergoes hydrolysis to release energy
