a. what happens to a cell when placed in a hypertonic solution?
b. isotonic
c. osmosis
d. passive transport
e. how does water move when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution?
f. simple diffusion
g. what happens to a cell when placed in an isotonic solution?
h. facilitated diffusion
i. hypotonic
j. hypertonic

Explanation:

1. "Having a lower concentration of solute than another solution" is the definition of a hypotonic solution, so it matches I.
2. "It shrinks" - When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cell and it shrinks, so it matches A.
3. "Having a higher concentration of solute than another solution" is the definition of a hypertonic solution, so it matches J.
4. "Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a protein" is facilitated diffusion, so it matches H.
5. "Diffusion of water through a selectively - permeable membrane, from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water" is osmosis, so it matches C.
6. "It maintains its shape" - A cell in an isotonic solution maintains its shape, so it matches G.
7. "Movement of a particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration" is simple diffusion, so it matches F.
8. "Into the cell" - In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, so it could be related to E (but the description in E is more about water movement in general in hypotonic solution).
9. "When the concentration of two solutions is the same" is an isotonic condition, so it matches B.
10. "Requires NO energy, Movement of molecules from high to low concentration" is passive transport, so it matches D.

Answer:

1. I. hypotonic
2. A. What happens to a cell when placed in a hypertonic solution?
3. J. hypertonic
4. H. facilitated diffusion
5. C. osmosis
6. G. What happens to a cell when placed in an isotonic solution?
7. F. simple diffusion
8. E. How does water move when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution? (partial match as it's about water movement into the cell in hypotonic)
9. B. isotonic
10. D. passive transport
