Hypotonic Solution The concentration of dissolved substances is lower in the solution outside the cell than the concentration inside the cell.
Hypertonic Solution The concentration of dissolved substances outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside the cell.
Passive Transport Movement of particles across cell membranes by diffusion or osmosis ;the cell uses no energy to move particles across the membrane.

Active Transport Movement of materials through a membrane against a concentration gradient .
