Answer 1

movement of molecules from high to low concentration, doesn’t require energy

Question 2

Diffusion

Answer 2

the movement of molecules from high to low concentration

Question 3

Equilibrium

Answer 3

same amount of H2O enters the cell as leaves

Question 4

Osmosis

Answer 4

diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane

Question 5

Hypotonic

Answer 5

Cell will swell and burst, more water outside of the cell than inside

Question 6

Hypertonic

Answer 6

cell shrinks, more water inside the cell than outside
