transports are diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and facilitated diffusion. The two types of active transports are endocytosis‚ and exocytosis. Passive transport does not require ATP‚ also known as energy. The reason it does not require energy is because it travels down a concentration gradient. This means molecules naturally travel from high to low concentration. The first type of passive transport is diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecule across the membrane from high to low concentration. Diffusion naturally

Review Sheet 1 Results 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Your answer: Two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are the MWCO membrane and the solute concentration. Increasing the membrane size and solute concentration will also increase the average diffusion rate. Decreasing the membrane size and solute concentration will reduce diffusion rates and can even prevent all diffusion. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane

ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or

their own according to natural laws of physics. The three types of passive transport mechanisms include diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and facilitated diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of materials from an area of most concentrated to an area of least concentrated‚ which is equal to moving down a concentration gradient. When the molecules have reached equal concentrations in both locations‚ diffusion ends and it has reached equilibrium. Molecules continue to move‚ but move in both directions equally; there

differences in the interior and exterior of the cell. The second type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two main types of passive processes called diffusion and filtration. This can be split into different types such as simple diffisuion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ osmosis and filtration. The objective of these experiments is to provide information on the passage of solutes and water through semi permeable membranes and relate them back to the study
