Transport in and out of cells

?
What is diffusion?
the net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration until they are evenly spread.
1 of 8
Give an example of where diffusion occurs in the lungs
Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse during gas exchange in the lungs.
2 of 8
What are the 3 factors that affect diffusion?
The difference in concentration (concentration gradient), the temperature and the surface area of the membrane.
3 of 8
What is osmosis?
the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
4 of 8
What is active transport?
the movement of substances against a concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to high concentration
