What process occurs when WATER diffuses across a membrane?

• endocytosis
• mitosis
• osmosis
• nuclear fission 

Why is diffusion and osmosis important to cells?

• It allows them to take in materials without using energy.
• It allows them to reproduce.
• It allows them to absorb sunlight.
• It allows cells to use all energy.

When both inside and outside of a cell have the same amount of water it is said that the cell has reached a state of ___________.

• osmosis
• equilibrium
• diffusion
• hypertonic

What does selectively-permeable mean?

Which way will the water molecules move during osmosis?

• Out of the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Out of the cell, so the cell swells.
• Into the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Into the cell, so the cell swells.
