Diffusion | the movement of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration until they are spread out evenly |
Osmosis | Diffusion of water the passage of water molecules from a dilute solution into a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane |
Active transport | the uptake of particles by cells against a concentration gradient. Needs energy. |
Factors that affect rate of movement of subtances into and out of cells | Surface Area to Volume ratio Temperature Concentration gradient |
Surface Area to Volume ratio | with a large SA:V ratio, more food and oxygen can be absorbed (through the surface) in order for the cell to respire therefore, the rate of movement of substances into and out of cells increases |
Temperature | When temperature increases, collisions between particles occur more frequently as they gain more kinetic energy therefore, the rate of movement of substances into and out of cells increases |
Concentration gradient | Particles move faster down a steep concentration gradient (high to low) |
