REVISION - FORM 4 CHAPTER 3 : MOVEMENT OF SUBSTANCES ACROSS THE (SPM Frequently Asked Question)
PLASMA MEMBRANE Define the following:
3.1 Simple Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion & Active Transport i. Simple diffusion –

Substances :

Example :

ii. Facilitated Diffusion –

Substances :

Example :

iii. Osmosis –

1. Passive transport is the movement of substances across the plasma membrane

from a region of _______________________ to a region of Substances :

Example :
_____________________.
4. Active transport is the movement of DISSOLVED molecules or ions across the
2. In passive transport, the substances move down their concentration gradient
plasma membrane from a region of __________________ to a region of
and therefore do not require ____________________. _____________________ (against concentration gradient).
3. The 3 types of passive transport are : simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion &

osmosis.
