Solutions
Osmosis Diffusion of water (passive transport); osmosis is a type of diffusion. Water
moves from low solute concentration (high water concentration) --> to high solute concentration
(low water concentration)
Dialysis Diffusion of solute (passive transport)
Diffusion Random movement of molecules due to a concentration gradient
Tonicity The effects of osmosis on living cells
Plasmolysis Plant cell shrinks in a hypertonic solution (plasma membrane shrinks away
from cell wall)
Crenation Animal cell shrinks in a hypertonic solution
Turgor Plant cell expands in a hypotonic solution
