Osmosis, Active Transport and Absorption

?
Osmosis
the passage of water from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a partially permeable membrane
1 of 5
Isotonic
solutions that possess the same concentration of solutes so therefore have the same water potential, leading to no osmotic movement
2 of 5
Active Transport
the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration against the concentration gradient using ATP
3 of 5
Absorption and Diffusion
absorption of glucose in the blood and villi helps maintain a constant concentration gradient to allow diffusion to continue
4 of 5
Absorption and Active Transport
glucose is absorbed with sodium through the sodium-potassium pump up their concentration gradient
