1 Movement in and out of cells

2 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

3 Getting in and out of cells
How does this work? ?

4 So how does this happen? In 2 ways Diffusion Active Transport 4

5 They both move molecules
Active transport works ACTIVELY Diffusion just happens 5

6 6

7 7

8 How can this be helped? A diffusion gradient
This means lots on one side and little on the other

9 How can this be helped? A large surface area
For the stuff to diffuse/active transport through

10 Large surface area 10
