| diffusion | The process of which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. |
| osmosis | The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. |
| active transport | The movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy. |
| passive transport | The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using energy. |
| organelle | A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell. |
| cell membrane | A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell. |
