__OSMOSIS﻿__ __Madison Wood & Taliah Bloxson__ ﻿ Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane.Osmosis releases energy and can be made to do work, but is a passive process, like //diffusion.// What should everyone know about Osmosis? __[]__  __ DIFFUSION __   Diffusion describes the spread of particles through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. What are things everyone should know about Diffusion? "[]"
 * 1)  ﻿﻿Osmosis releases energy and can be made to do work. 
 * 2) The word //osmosis// comes from the words //endosmose// and //exosmose.//
 * 3) Osmosis may happen when there is a partially permeable membrane, such as a //cell membrane//.
 * 1)  The difference between the concentrations of molecules of a substance from the highest to the lowest concentration is called a diffusion gradient.
 * 2) The steeper the gradient, the faster diffusion occurs.
 * 3) Diffusion is one of the major mechanisms of molecular transprt in cells.

__ ﻿ __  __ CELL MEMBRANE __  The cell membrane is a biological cells from the outside environment The cell membrane is a biological membrane that seperates the interior of all cells from the outside enviornment. What should everyone know about Cell Membranes? 1. Cell membranes consist of a bilayer of lipid molecules. 2. A double layer made of phospholipids and protein molecues. 3. Different proteins on the surface that are used for many functions such as ce;; receptors, enzymes, surface antigens, and transporters.
