This transport involves the materials moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration
What is diffusion?
This is the main reason why food colouring spreads evenly in a glass of water without stirring.
What is diffusion?
This process involves the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
This organelle is only found in animal cells
What are lysosomes?
When there is a balance on both the inside and outside of the cell, the cell is considered to be in this
What is homeostasis?

What is the mitochondria?

What is selectively permeable (or semi-permeable)?
In osmosis, water always moves in this direction
What is from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
This organelle contains a selectively permeable membrane that allows some materials in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
If a raisin is placed in water overnight, it will swell due to this
