    The document contains flashcards on topics related to cell transport for Edexcel Biology GCSE, including definitions and key details about simple diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. Simple diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration down a gradient. Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from high to low concentration. Active transport moves molecules against a concentration gradient using energy.
