Description
Movement from a low conc. to a high conc. Energy is required. E.g. absorption of Mg by roots, glucose uptake in intestines
Movement of H2O from high concentration of H2O to a low conc. of H2O water through semi/selectively permeable membrane (from a more dil. Solution to a more conc. solution). Passive movement. E.g. absorbing water through plant roots, kidney tubules reabsorbing water
Movement of substances from high concentration to low concentration – along a concentration gradient which exists until diffused substance is evenly distributed. Passive movement. E.g: CO2 diffusing in / O2 out of leaf (through stomata). Note: can occur just in solutions, as well as across membranes.

Protects cell – gives strength and support. Is permeable and made of cellulose. Controls turgidity (can resist high internal pressures without stretching)
Site of light-dependent stage of photosynthesis, contain chlorophyll - green light-trapping pigment
Fluid-filled area of chloroplast where light-independent stage of photosynthesis occurs
