Passive Transport

Question 1

Solute

Answer 1

A solid substance that dissolves in a liquid substance

Question 2

Solvent

Answer 2

The liquid that the solute dissolves in

Question 3

Solute concentration

Answer 3

The amount of solute dissolves in a solvent

-Goes from an area of high concentration to areas of low solute concentration

Question 4

Passive Transport

Answer 4

Methods of transporting materials into and out of the cell that DO NOT require energy

Question 5

Diffusion

Answer 5

The movement of molecules from a hypertonic area to a hypotonic area
(Moves along the concentration gradient)

Question 6

Osmosis

Answer 6

Specialized type of diffusion involving the movement of water in or out of the cell

Moves from a high to low area of concentration.

Question 7

Facilitated diffusion

Answer 7

The movement of larger molecules across the cell membrane with the help of an embedded transport protein

High to low area of concentration
