Osmosis
The movement of water through a partially permeable membrane into a solution with low water concentration
1 of 11
Concentration gradient
A change in the concentration of a substance from one region to another
2 of 11
Active transport
The movement of substances against the concentration gradient; requires energy
3 of 11
Specialised
Adapted from particulate purpose
4 of 11
Surface area
The external area of the living thing
5 of 11
Villi
Projections that stick out from the walls of the small intestine; each villus contains a network of blood capillaries for absorbing soluble food
6 of 11
Alveoli
Air sacs in the lungs; oxygen diffuses out of them and carbon dioxide diffuses into them
7 of 11
Ventilation
The process of breathing in and out
8 of 11
Stomata
Openings /pores in leaves
9 of 11
Transpiration
The movement of water through a plant from root to leaf
10 of 11
Guard cells
Pairs of sausage shaped plant cells that open and close to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and water and oxygen out (through the stomata)
