| 7368052939 | diffusion | entering and leaving cells by a passive process (no energy) random movement of molecules but is directed from areas of high concentration towards regions of lower concentration in order to reach an equilibrium. |  | 0 |
| 7368063874 | simple passive diffusion | when small molecules pass through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane | 1 | |
| 7368068772 | selectively permeable | the fact that the membrane has tiny pores or holes allowing certain substances to move across it |  | 2 |
| 7368077952 | osmosis | the diffusion of water molecules across a membrane (typically a cell membrane) |  | 3 |
| 7368091697 | tonicity | the relationship between the concentrations of solutes on either side of the membrane which determines the direction and extent of diffusion based on concentration being either greater than, less than, equal to | 4 | |
| 7368101402 | hypotonic | lower concentration of solutes |  | 5 |
| 7368103796 | isotonic | equal concentration of solutes normal |  | 6 |
| 7368114591 | hypertonic | greater concentration of solutes |  | 7 |
| 7368135796 | cytolysis | rupturing of the cell because it's so swollen |  | 8 |
| 7368140256 | turgor pressure | plant cells have a rigid cell wall so that if excess water is bathed among cells, the wall pushes back so that the cell doesn't inflate with water and burst |  | 9 |
| 7368155338 | plasmolyzed | deflated, and/or dried out |  | 10 |
