| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Selectively Permeable | Allows only certain materials to pass through |
| Hydrophillic | Water loving |
| Hydrophobic | Water fearing |
| Diffusion | Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| Concentration Gradient | When a difference in concentration exists |
| Dynamic equilibrium | The movement of particles back and forth at an equal rate. |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
| Hypotonic | Low Concentration - Water moves into the cell |
| Hypertonic | High ConcentrationWater moves out of the cell. |
| Isotonic | No net movement of water |
| Homeostasis | Maintaining balance |
