| A | B |
| Diffusion | The movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration |
| Selectively permeable membrane | Only allows certain substance through it |
| Dynamic equilibrium | No net movement of particles, so particles move at an equal rate with no detected change |
| Passive transport | Goes with concentration gradient requires no energy |
| Active transport | Goes against concentration gradient requires energy |
| Hydrophobic | Lacking an affinity for water |
| Hydrophilic | Having an affinity for water |
| plasmolysis | is the contraction of cells within plants due to the loss of water |
| Turgor pressure | main pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall |
| Hypotonic solution | A solution were the concentration of dissolved substances is lower than the concentration inside the cell |
| Isotonic solution | A solution where the concentration of dissolved substance is equal inside and outside the cell |
