down concentration gradient Move from area of more substance to area of less Two types: diffusion, osmosis Active processes of membrane transport Require energy Substance must be moved up its concentration gradient (active transport) Membrane-bound vesicle must be released (vesicular transport) 57 4.3a Passive Processes: Diffusion 1 Diffusion Net movement of ions or molecules from area of greater concentration to area of lesser concentration Down the concentration gradient Also influenced by “steepness” of concentration gradient Measure of the difference in concentration between two areas Steeper gradient causes faster rate of diffusion If unopposed, diffusion continues until substance reaches equilibrium Molecules evenly distributed throughout a given area 58 Diffusion Figure
