is a specific type of diffusion; it is the passage of water from a region of higher water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of water concentration. Water moves in or out of a until its concentration is the same on both sides of the cell membrane. A cell in a pure water solution (hypotonic solution) would be expected to in volume due to the net flow of .

Blank 1: Osmosis
Explanation: Osmosis is the specific type of diffusion mentioned in the sentence. It refers to the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane.
Blank 2: Lower
Explanation: Osmosis occurs from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration. This is indicated by the phrase "from a region of higher water concentration."
Blank 3: Semi-permeable membrane
Explanation: The movement of water in osmosis occurs through a semi-permeable membrane, which only allows certain molecules (in this case, water) to pass through while blocking others.
Blank 4: Hypotonic solution
Explanation: A cell in a hypotonic solution (such as pure water) has a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell than in the surrounding solution. This results in a lower water concentration outside the cell.
Blank 5: Increase
Explanation: When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water molecules will move into the cell through osmosis. This influx of water causes the cell to increase in volume.
