Osmosis is the process by which molecules of a solvent pass through a semi-permeable membrane from a less concentration to a higher concentration.

Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from a higher concentration regions to a region of lower concentration.

Active transport is the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient.

Bulk transport is the movement of macromolecules into or out of the cell

Describe the energy pyramid describe the biomass pyramid

kogti [31]

The energy pyramid describes decomposers compared to energy lost as heat. Primary producers start at 100% and it decreases to 10% at primary consumers, 1% at secondary, .1% at third level, and .01% at apex.
The biomass pyramid describes the total mass of an organism and as a biomass moves up, the overall mass is losing volume. This means it decreases as it moves from the bottom to the top.
