Osmosis, Diffusion and Active Transport

Cards (7)

  • Diffusion
    The movement of molecules which are solutes or particles from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration
  • As temperature increases
    The rate of reaction increases
  • Osmosis
    The movement of water molecules only from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution across a semi-permeable membrane
  • Active transport
    The movement of molecules from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration, requiring energy
  • Hypotonic solution
    A hypotonic solution is a dilute solution
  • Hypertonic solution 

    A hypertonic solution is a concentrated solution
  • Isotonic solution

    A isotonic solution is a solution with equal amounts of solvent as solute
