Movement in and out of Cells
Objectives
• Write a definition for diffusion, osmosis and active transport.
• Explain how surface area to volume ratio, temperature and
concentration gradient affect the rate at which these processes work.
• Describe a simple experiment to demonstrate diffusion using a non-
living system.
• In order for cell to carry out the many chemical reactions it needs to,
substances must enter and leave the cells.
