diffusion
spreading of particles or molecules from high concentration areas to low concentration areas
hypertonic solution
solution of high concentration (more solute)
hypotonic solution
solution of lower concentration (lower solute)
Diffusion travels from a _____ solution to a _____ solution.
hypertonic; hypotonic
permeable membrane
allows things to pass through it

osmosis
the diffusion of water
Osmosis occurs usually with water being the _____ in the solution in the context of a _____ membrane.
solvent; semi permeable
In osmosis, water will travel to the solution with the _____ concentration of solute in order to try and make the two solutions reach ______.
higher; equilibrium
In osmosis through a semi permeable membrane, try to think of water as the solute because, in terms of the actual solute, it is traveling from the _____ solution to the ______ solution.
hypotonic; hypertonic
