--Osmosis (passive transport) - -Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable
membrane

--active transport - -from lower to higher, using energy

--isotonic solution - -a solution whose solute concentration is equal to the solute
concentration inside a cell

--hypertonic soultion - -Solutes more concentrated in solution than in cell
