Biology- Transport across membranes

Questions about diffusion, osmosis and active transport.

?
A bigger concentration gradient does what to the rate of diffusion?
Increases it.
1 of 8
Active transport uses energy from which process?
Respiration.
2 of 8
Osmosis is the net movement of what type of molecules?
Water molecules.
3 of 8
Diffusion transports particles from a low to high concentration- true or false?
False- they travel from high to low down a concentration gradient.
4 of 8
In osmosis, water molecules travel from a high ______ to a low ________, fill in the blanks.
High water potential, low water potential.
5 of 8
How does a large surface area to volume ratio affect transport across membranes?
It increases the rate of transport.
6 of 8
How does a high temperature affect diffusion?
It increases the rate of it as the particles have more kinetic energy.
7 of 8
Osmosis is the net movement of particles across a what?
Partially/selectively permeable membrane.
