- During the process of diffusion, molecules move from areas of ___ concentration to ___ concentration?
- How is osmosis different from diffusion? How is it similar?
- What happens to a cell when it is placed in a higher-solute solution (like the egg in corn syrup)?
- What happens to a cell when it is placed in a lower-solute solution (like the egg in water with food coloring)?
mitosis / meiosis
Since all living things ARE MADE OF CELLS, GROW AND DEVELOP,
and REPRODUCE, how are those new cells made?

cellular respiration
How do we get the ENERGY to make those new cells?
(Remember, all living things USE ENERGY!)

photosynthesis
Where does the GLUCOSE come from that's needed for Cellular Respiration?
passive transport: diffusion
How do OXYGEN and CARBON DIOXIDE get in and out of the cell???
passive transport: osmosis
How does WATER get in and out of the cell???
