Substances move in and out of the cell by diffusion. Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles in order to attain equilibrium in concentration. While the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. It is important to note that plasma membrane is a semi-permeable membrane. Water always moves from high water concentration to low water concentration.
