Understand active transport as the movement of molecules or ions into or out of a cell through the cell membrane, from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration (i.e. against a concentration gradient), using energy released during respiration
Understand diffusion as the net movement of molecules or ions from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration (i.e. down a concentration gradient), as a result of their random movement
Understand that absorption (by diffusion, osmosis and active transport) is the movement of nutrients from the intestines into cells lining the digestive system and then into the blood
