anywhere in that column
1

(c)

any four from:

water movement
do not accept solution
out of cells
dilute to concentrated solution
accept reference to correct gradient high to low or high to low water concentration
must be unambiguous i.e. not high to low
concentration
accept low to high concentration
reference to partially / selectively
permeable membranes or described
cells shrink / get smaller
allow crenated
ignore plasmolysed / flaccid / floppy
etc

m4 .

(a)

(i)

movement of atoms / molecules / ions

accept particles
allow dissolved substances
ignore reference to membranes
1

(substance) moves from high to low concentration

allow down the gradient ignore
across / along / with a gradient
1

(ii)

any two from:

movement of molecules / ions

accept particles
allow dissolved substances this point once only in
(a)(i) and (a)(ii)

from low to high concentration

allow up / against the gradient
ignore across / along / with a gradient

requires energy / respiration

accept requires ATP
2

M5.

any four from

molecules / ions
do not credit mineral salts
move(d) through / across the cell
wall / membrane
against (a / the) concentration
gradient
by a series of chemical
reactions
(because) diffusion cannot occur
energy (required)
(supplied by) respiration
oxygen required for respiration (to occur)
