| three types of passive transport | diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion |
| diffusion | move through membrane freely without protein |
| osmosis | movement of water across membrane freely, high solute to low solute, high water to low water concentration |
| hypotonic solution | solute concentration outside cell is lower than the solute conc. in the water, so water moves into cell, which makes it burst |
| hypertonic solution | solute concentration on the outside of the cell is greater than on the inside, making the water move out of the cell, shrivels the cell. |
| isotonic solution | solute concentration outside cell= solute concentration inside cell, water flows in and out of the cell at same rate- no change |
| facilitated diffusion | movement of molecules down gradient by a protein |
