| osmosis | the diffusion of water molecules |
| active transport | when molecules in a crowded area still need more molecules so the force molecules in a less crowded area to come to them |
| hypotonic solution | a solution where the concentration of molecules is greater outside a cell then inside the cell so the molecules move into the cell |
| isotonic solution | a solution where the concentration molecules on the inside and the outside of cell is the same; the cell and the solution have reached an equilibrium |
| hypertonic solution | a solution where the concentration of molecules is greater on the inside of the cell so the molecules move out of the cell |
