| cell structure | cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm (between the two) |
| movement through plasma membrane | passive movement, dissolves in phospholipid bilayer, diffuses across it, then dissolves in the aqueous solution |

| Osmosis | diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane (H20 diffuses from less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution) |
