Osmosis

Osmosis- A type of diffusion within water molecules. The overall movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.

Active Transport

Active Transport- Overall movement of chemicals across a cell membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration using energy from respiration.
