    Diffusion is the movement and mixing of individual particles - it does not need movement of the whole fluid, like convection. Osmosis ONLY involves the movement of WATER Water moves through a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion takes place in liquids and gases (fluids) Some movement involves gases e.g. Transpiration, 'breathing'

    Diffusion

    Movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration It takes place in liquids and gases (uids) Most biological molecules (particles) move in liquids e.g. blood, tissue uid Some movement involves gases e.g. transpiration, breathing

    Important Diffusion is the movement and mixing of individual particles - it does not need movement of the whole uid, like convection

    Osmosis

    A special case of diffusion Osmosis ONLY involves the movement of WATER Water moves through a semi-permeable membrane

    Note Semi-permeable means only small molecules can pass through it. Cell membranes are semi-permeable

    Osmosis

    Osmo-regulation (controlling the concentration of substances on each side of the cell membrane) is essential for organisms to live Movement of water across the wall of the small intestine is one example

    Active Transport

    Diffusion & osmosis are passive - movement of molecules takes place without needing energy from the cells Active transport requires the cells energy to push molecules across the cell membrane A special molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) provides the energy Examples include 1. moving glucose from the intestine into the cells 2. plants moving minerals across the cell membrane into the root hairs 3. uptake of iodine by thyroid gland
