Facilitated Diffusion
High to Low Concentration
Large Molecules (e.g. Glucose)
Needs Proteins
No Energy
Diffusion
High to Low Concentration Small Molecules (e.g. Oxygen) No Proteins No Energy Osmosis is an example of this
Active Transport
Low to High Concentration
Molecules of low concentration outside the cell (e.g. Nitrates)
Needs Proteins
Needs Energy
Examples of Diffusion:
Examples of Facilitated Diffusion:
-Taking amino acids and glucose into the cell
Examples of Active Transport:
- Marine fish have gills which can pump out salt.
