Osmosis and diffusion

Question 1

Define Osmosis

Answer 1

Osmosis is the moevment of water molecules from a region of high cencentration to an area of low concentration throught a selectively permeable membrane

Question 2

Define Diffusion

Answer 2

Diffusion is the movement of particies from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until evenly distributed

Question 3

Define Active Transport(takes place across the cell membrane of cells )

Answer 3

The movement of ions froma region of ow cencentration tp a reion of high concemtration up a gradient. This process expelles energy.

Question 4

Importance of Active Transport

Answer 4

To get ions in and out of cells
Allows mineral to move in the plant

Question 5

Importance of Osmosis

Answer 5

To get equal amount of water molecules in and out of cells
Removal of water in the cell
