| 4918650661 | facilitated diffusion | molecules that can't directly diffuse accross the membrane pass through special protein channels |  | 1 |
| 4918650675 | aquaporins | cells contain water channels, proteins that allow water to pass through them |  | 2 |
| 4918652819 | osmosis | the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane |  | 3 |
| 4918665832 | isotonic | 2 solutions that have same strength (osmotic pressure) - no change |  | 4 |
| 4918682829 | hypotonic | causes cell to burst - when comparing 2 solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes |  | 5 |
| 4918688431 | hypertonic | above strength - the solution with the greater concentration of solutes |  | 6 |
