Cell Transportation Key Words

Cell membrane and transportation illustration

📚 Part 1: Key Words and Definitions

Study these important terms about cell transportation:

Diffusion: The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

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

Active Transport: The movement of substances across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient, requiring energy (ATP).

Concentration Gradient: The difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas.

Membrane: A thin layer that surrounds the cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell.

ATP: Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell used for active transport.

✏️ Part 2: Fill in the Blanks

Complete each sentence using the key words from Part 1.

1. ______________ is the movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane.
2. The cell ______________ controls what enters and leaves the cell.
3. ______________ requires energy in the form of ATP to move substances against the concentration gradient.
4. Particles move from high to low concentration during ______________.
5. ______________ is the energy currency used by cells for active transport.
6. The difference in concentration between two areas is called a ______________.
