Q

concentration-number of particles in given volume (strength of solution)
concentration gradient-difference in conc. between 2 areas

A

partially permeable membrane-allows some molecules to pass through (like a cell membrane)
osmosis-movement of water across a ppm from high water/low solute conc to low water/high solution conc.
osmosis eg.-water into plants roots, water in/out any cell
