12. KEY CONCEPT Materials move across membranes
because of concentration differences.
3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis
Concentration Gradient: when there is a
difference in concentration between two areas
13. Passive transport does not require energy input from a
cell.
• Molecules can move across the cell membrane
through passive transport.
• There are two types of
passive transport.
• osmosis
• diffusion
3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis
14. Diffusion and osmosis are types of passive
transport.
• Molecules diffuse down a
concentration gradient.
• How would you define
DIFFUSION?!
3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis
15. Diffusion and osmosis are types of passive
transport.
• Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a
semipermeable membrane.
3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis
16. Diffusion and osmosis are types of passive transport.
• There are three types of solutions.
• isotonic
3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis3.4 Diffusion and Osmosis
• hypotonic
• hypertonic
17. Some molecules can only diffuse through transport
proteins.
• Some molecules cannot easily diffuse across the cell
membrane.
• Facilitated diffusion is
diffusion through transport
proteins.
