start learning

Question		Answer
What is diffusion? start learning		Net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Is diffusion active or passive? start learning		Passive
Which 3 factors affect the rate of diffusion? start learning		Concentration gradient, temperature, surface area
What is osmosis? start learning		Net movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution
What type of membrane is needed for osmosis? start learning		A partially permeable membrane
What is active transport? start learning		Movement of particles from a low concentration to a high concentration using energy from respiration
Why do root hair cells use active transport? start learning		To absorb mineral ions from dilute soil
