During our biology class we studied movement in and out of cells, Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport. We used this website to understand the different processes, completed the games and made a comparative chart for the different movements.
OSMOSIS | DIFFUSION | ACTIVE TRANSPORT | |
Type of molecules | Water | Ions, gases, other molecules | |
Concentration gradient | Down a water potential. High to low | Down a concentration gradient. High to low | Against concentration gradient |
Energy | NO | NO | YES |
Carrier | NO | NO | YES |
