Diffusion The movement of particles from an area where their concentration is high to an area where their concentration is low Click for Term
The diffusion of water across a cell membrane Click for Term
Osmosis The diffusion of water across a cell membrane Click for Term
The diffusion of particles through proteins in the cell membranes from areas where the concentration of particles is high to areas where the concentration of particles is low Click for Term
Passive transport The diffusion of particles through proteins in the cell membranes from areas where the concentration of particles is high to areas where the concentration of particles is low Click for Term
The movement of particles through proteins in the cell membranes against the direction of diffusion; requires cells to use energy Click for Term
