PROCESS Active or What is it?

Which way are the Examples of

Passive molecules moving? molecules that
Enter or Exit this way
Diffusion P Eventually causes equilibrium. High to low Oxygen and CO2
In the air
In water
Across a membrane

Facilitated P Uses carrier proteins to allow some High to low Glucose and amino
Diffusion passage of some molecules. acids

Osmosis P Process by which water diffuses High to low More water enters than
across a cell membrane. Hyper – high exits.
Solvent: does the dissolving. Hypo - low
Solute: thing being dissolved.
Water moves toward the solutes
and/or where there’s less water.
