Summary Introduction

To determine: The direction of net movement of particles along their concentration gradient.

Concept introduction: Diffusion is a process that is characterized by the net transfer of molecules down a concentration gradient that results in the unsystematic movement of particles. There are two main types of diffusion namely simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the direction of the net movement of particles along their concentration gradient would be different in facilitated diffusion when compared with simple diffusion.
