Quick Recall Flashcards

Define osmosis

The movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration) through a semi-permeable membrane.

Define diffusion

The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down a concentration gradient. No energy is required (passive process).
