diffusion: the net movement of particles from a region of
their higher concentration to a region of their lower Carbohydrates Proteins Fats and oils

- Substances move into and out of cells by diffusion (CHO) Sometimes (CHO)
through the cell membrane. Sugar as glucose or Sulphur Fats such as
monosaccharides. Nitrogen Glycerol

Osmosis: the net movement of water molecules from a
region of higher water potential (dilute solution) to a
region of lower water potential (concentrated solution),
through a partially permeable membrane.
Plant cells:
Structure of DNA
Double helix formed from two complementary strands of
nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between
G-C and A-T base pairs.
