- Respiration
- Effects of heat
- Thermal Energy
I learnt about the different organelles found in animal and plant cells, their functions, and the similarities and differences between them. I also learnt about diffusion and osmosis and how they are present in everyday life. I did a project on the stomach for the topic on digestion.
Differences between diffusion and osmosis
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration, down a concentration gradient. Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
