10199065 | Diffusion | the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration of those molecules to an area of lower concentration | |
10199066 | Osmosis | a special case of diffusion where water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential | |
10199067 | Permeable Membrane | a membrane that allows for diffusion of certain solutes and water | |
10199068 | Active Transport | uses energy from ATP to move substances throguh the cell membrane against a concentration gradient, from regions of low to higher concentrations | |
10199069 | Isotonic | when two solutions have the same concentrations of solutes | |
10199070 | Hypertonic | a solution with more solute | |
10199071 | Hypotonic | solution with less solute | |
10199306 | Water Potential | measure of free energy of water in a solution |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
