    Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to lower water concentration to equalize the concentrations. In hypotonic solutions, the solute concentration inside the cell is lower than outside, so water diffuses in via osmosis. In isotonic solutions, the solute concentrations inside and out are equal, so there is no net movement of water. Active transport moves substances against a concentration gradient using energy, unlike diffusion which moves substances down a concentration gradient.
