| Diffusion | is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. |
| Osmosis | is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration. |
| Lipids | are a group of fats and fat-like molecules that store energy, make up cell membranes, and act as signaling molecules. |
