| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is diffusion(A)? | It is the main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane. |
| What is diffusion(B)? | A process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. |
| What are molecules always doing? | Moving |
| What do molecules do once they "bump" into each other? | They push away from each other. |
| What will molecules eventually do throughout an area? | They will spread evenly. |
| How do organisms in pond water(protists) obtain oxygen? | The obtain oxygen from the water around them. |
| What molecule is there more of on the outside of the cell than the inside of the cell? | Oxygen |
| Where is there a higher concentration of of oxygen molecules, inside the cell, or in the water? | In the water. |
| The cell membrane is what to oxygen molecules? | permeable |
| What is osmosis? | It is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. |
| What cannot cell function properly without? | Water |
| What do all cellular processes depend on? | Osmosis |
| What don't osmosis and diffusion require. | Cellular energy |
| What is passive transport? | It is the movement of dissolved materials through the cell membrane without using cellular energy. |
| What is active transport? | The movement of materials using cellular energy. |
