Answer:

1. What is the difference between osmosis & diffusion?

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

2. What are the TWO ,types of active transport?

  • There are two types of active transport: Primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
  • and secondary Active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

3. What are the TWO types of passive transport?

Simple Diffusion and osmosis are both forms of passive transport and require none of the cell's ATP energy.

4. Substances can only move into or out of a cell if the cell membrane is:

Active Transport.

Those proteins do much of the work in active transport. They are positioned to cross the membrane so one part is on the inside of the cell and one part is on the outside. Only when they cross the bilayer are they able to move molecules and ions in and out of the cell.

hope I help! sorry if Im wrong.

Im not sure in the last question.

Step-by-step explanation:

osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane diffuison is the movement of particles from area of higher concentration to lower concention

primary active transport and secondary active transport

diffusion or water carbon dioxide
