Movement of Substances
  1. Types
    1. Passive
      1. Does not require energy
        1. Move ↓ conc. gradient
          1. Eg.
            1. Diffusion
              1. Osmosis
            2. Active
              1. Requires energy
                1. Move against / up conc. gradient
              2. Diffusion
                1. NET movement of particles frm a region of HIGH conc. to LOW conc.
                  1. Down conc. gradient
                    1. Conc. gradient
                      1. Diffeence in conc. btw 2 regions
                        1. Steeper grad.
                          1. ↑ rate of diffusion
                    2. Factors affecting RATE
                      1. Conc. gradient
                        1. Steeper
                          1. ↑ rate

                                  1. ↑ rate
                                2. May be unapplicable
                                  1. Diffusion does not require a membrane
