1. The Phospholipid Heads are Hydrophilic

2. What are the Phospholipid Bilayer made out of?

   The Phospholipid Head and Fatty Acid Tails

3. What is Diffusion

   Substances moving down a Concentration Gradient

4. Isotonic are when the Solute levels are the same and there are no Net Movement

5. Hypotonic Is when there are more Water outside the cell and the water moves in and making the cell swollen.

6. Hypertonic is when there are more water inside the cell and the water moves out making the cell plasmolysed
