Movement of the small molecules from left to right across the membrane
Movement of the small molecules from right to left across the membrane
If the small molecules are water molecules, then the movement from right to left across the membrane
is called pinocytosis
is called osmosis
is called active transport
will not occur in a healthy cell
When salt is poured on a slug, it dies because
water moves out of the slug, causing dehydration
salt moves into the slug, poisoning it
water moves into the slug, causing it to swell
salt moves out of the slug, depriving it of essential minerals
In passive diffusion, substances always move
from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration
from an area with more of the molecules to an area with fewer of the molecules
from an area with fewer of the molecules to an area with more of the molecules
