Movement in and out of cells
Learning Objectives Define diffusion as the net movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration down a concentration gradient, as a result of their random movement Describe the importance of diffusion of gases and solutes and of water as a solvent
Getting in and out of cells How does this work? ?
So how does this happen? In 2 ways Diffusion Active Transport 4
They both move molecules Active transport works ACTIVELY Diffusion just happens 5

7
How can this be helped? A diffusion gradient This means lots on one side and little on the other
How can this be helped? A large surface area For the stuff to diffuse/active transport through
Large surface area 10
