    Active transport requires energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient, diffusion moves molecules down a concentration gradient without requiring energy, and osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to lower. When a potato cube is placed in a sucrose solution, it gains mass through osmosis as the higher concentration of water inside the potato cells moves into the lower concentration solution, decreasing the sucrose concentration. Oxygen will diffuse out of a plant cell because its concentration is higher inside the cell than outside.

    QS ( DIFFUSION)
    1.
    Active transport, diffusion and osmosis are described below.

    1 the movement of ions or molecules across the cell membrane


    against a concentration gradient using energy
    2 the movement of ions or molecules from a region of high concentration to a
    region of low concentration down a concentration gradient
    3 the movement of water molecules from a region of their higher
    concentration to a region of their lower concentration through a partially
    permeable membrane

    What links the descriptions with their names?

    C osmosis decreased
    D osmosis increased
    3. Which statement is always correct when oxygen is diffusing out of a plant cell?

    A The concentration of carbon dioxide is higher inside the cell than outside.
    B The concentration of carbon dioxide is higher outside the cell than inside.
    C The concentration of oxygen is higher inside the cell than outside.
    D The concentration of oxygen is higher outside the cell than inside.

    4. The diagram represents the passage of water molecules and glucose molecules
