Movement across the Plasma Membrane
Passive Transport Movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane with a concentration gradient no energy required 2 types Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion- net movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane
Diffusion Solute molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (water) Equilibrium is reached when there is an even distribution of solute molecules
Facilitated Diffusion Movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane with a protein
Osmosis Diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane Moves from High [water] to low [water]
Osmosis in Living Cells 3 Types Isotonic Hypertonic Hypotonic

Osmosis in Plant Cells Hypertonic Hypotonic
Active Transport Movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane against a concentration gradient with a protein Requires Energy (ATP)
Lets Review:
Does it move with or against the concentration gradient? What is…. Diffusion? Does it move with or against the concentration gradient? Facilitated Diffusion? What does it require that is different than regular diffusion?
