cytoskeleton

• is the movement of water through a membrane; the water moves from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

• is a state where biological processes are in balance within a cell or organism.

• is an internal network of protein structures (microtubules and microfilaments) that controls a cell's shape and movement. It also allows the cell to move organelles around within the cell.

• is an organelle in which photosynthesis occurs within the cells of plants and algae.
