Term
Passive Transport
Definition
Movement of cells from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration
Term

Definition
Random movement of particles
Term
Osmosis
Definition
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Term
Plasma Membrane
Definition
Regulates what may enter and leave the cell,  while providing protection and support
Term
Hypertonic Solution
Definition
More solutes outside of cell than inside.  Water moves out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
Term
Hypotonic Solution
Definition
More solutes inside of cell than outside.  Water moves into of the cell, causing it to expand.
Term
Isotonic Solution
Definition
