Diffusio

9. You put raisins in a glass of water and they plump up. Osmosis Diffusion

Section C: Which type(s) of transport is each statement true for? Add ticks to the correct boxes.

Active
Diffusion Osmosis
Transport
A substance moves from an area of low
concentration to an area of high concentration.
Can happen in living cells.
A substance moves and becomes more evenly
spread out.
The movement does not use energy and is
caused by the random movement of individual .
particles.
The movement requires energy from
respiration.
Only water is involved in this type of
movement.
Water moves from a less concentrated solution
to a more concentrated solution.
