what are the 3 types of passive transport?

1. Diffusion 2. Facilitated Diffusion 3. Osmosis

diffusion always occurs down a _______ (areas from high -> low concentration)

concentration gradient

the difference in the concentration of molecules across a space

concentration gradient

water will cross the membrane toward the higher solute concentration until the _______ of both_____ and _____ even out

concentration gradients water and solutes

random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

diffusion

the simplest type of passive transport that does not require the cell to use energy is ____

diffusion

when the concentration of the molecules of a substance is the same throughout a space, a state of _____ exists

equilibrium

diffusion continues until all molecules are _______ (equilibrium is reached) molecules will still move around but stay _____ out

evenly spaced spread

to stay alive, a cell must _________________

exchange materials such as food and waste with its environment

diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane

facilitated diffusion

osmosis water moves from areas of ___ concentration to __ low concentration water moves freely through _____ in the membrane

high low pores

molecules diffuse faster at ____ temperatures

higher

cell membranes help organisms maintain ____ by controlling what substances may enter or leave the cell

homeostasis

solute outside the cell is higher than the inside

hypertonic

the activities of a cell depend on the _____ that enter and leave the cell

materials

diffusion occurs when molecules ___________
