Diffusion
Against water potential
Water potential
Amount if H2O molecules
Osmosis
Through phospholipid bilayer High to low Passive Used by H2O molecules Down water potential
Active transport
Against gradient
Uses pump
Bulk transport
Involves the cell making membrane bound vesicles to bring materials in and out of the cell
Which molecules diffuse in diffusion?
Hydrophobic molecules
Small, uncharged polar molecules
Hypertonic solution
The solution the cell is placed in has less water than the cell
Hypotonic solution
The solution the cell is placed in has more water than the cell
