| isotonic solution | Concentration of dissolved substances is the SAME on both sides of the membrane. |
| hyPOtonic solution | Concentration of dissolved substances is LOWER outside of the membrane. |
| hyPERtonic solution | Concentration of dissolved substances is HIGHER outside of the membrane. |

| facilitated diffusion | Transport of materials across the membrane with the aid of a protein. |
| active transport | Energy requiring movement of materials through a membrane against a concentration gradient. |
