Name: ……………………………………………………………… Date: Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport Worksheet 1. Which type(s) of transport is each statement true for? Add ticks to the correct boxes. Diffusion Osmosis Active Transport A substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. v 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. v v v v v .v v Only water is involved in this type of movement. v Water moves from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. v 2. Choose a word from the box at the bottom of the page to fill in the gaps in the sentences below. You can use words once, twice or not at all. In animals, oxygen …………Diffuses… into cells across cell membranes to be used in …………Respiration…..…. Carbon dioxide ………Diffuses…… out of cells. In plants, carbon dioxide diffuses into cells to be used in Photosynthesis. Water enters the roots of plants by ………Osmosis……. Water moves into cells through … Partially/ Semi… permeable membranes, which allow small molecules, such as water, to pass through, but not large molecules. Plants use a process called…Active Transport.… to move minerals such as nitrates into root cells. This requires … Energy…. 1 Name:……………………………………………………. Date: …………………… 3. The experiments below show visking osmometers, which are used to measure osmosis. Visking tubes are partially permeable. The experiments below all involve different solutions. They were left for a day. The water level at the start of the day is shown. Mark on each diagram where you think the liquid levels will be after one day. Iso – no net movement – nothing changes Hyper and hypo water rises and line goes down a) b) glass tubing water at the start of the day secured with knot visking tubing 1 M glucose solution 5 M glucose solution 1 M glucose solution c) d) 2 distilled water Name:……………………………………………………. 2 M glucose solution distilled water 1 M glucose solution 3 Date: …………………… 5 M glucose solution
