Key Ideas:
1) Liquid/ Gas particles move 1) Only water molecules
1) Requires energy
from region of high concentration 2) Partially permeable membrane
to low concentration 3) High water potential to low 2) From low to high
2) Movement of particles is water potential 3) Only in living cell
random and dynamic in 4) Hypertonic & hypotonic 4) Active transport in
equilibrium (net) 5) Osmosis in living cells living cells
3) Concentration gradient 6) SA to Vol ratio
4) Examples of diffusion 7) Adaptations
