Osmosis
the diffusion of water from a dilute solution (lots of water to a concentrated solution (lots of solutes) through a partially permeable membrane
1 of 6
Diffusion
the passive spreading out of gas or liquid particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
2 of 6
Concentration Gradient
the difference between two areas of concentration, so when particles move from high to low it goes down the concentration gradient
3 of 6
Active Transport
the movement of materials through a cell membrane using energy
4 of 6
Xylem Cells
transport system in plants that carries water and mineral ions from the roots to the leaves and shoots
one way only
5 of 6
Phloem Cells
transport system in plants that carries food around the plant made by photosynthesis
two way
