Materials can move in and out of animal cells through one of two reasons: Passive transport or active transport. Passive transport happens naturally and requires no energy on the part of the cell. It usually happens through osmosis, diffusion, or facilitated diffusion. Active transport involves endocytosis, exocytosis, or molecules moving from a low concentration to high concentration. Active transport requires energy.

Do all animal cells move independently?

No, not all animal cells move independently. Some animal cells are part of tissues and organs that are anchored in place and do not move on their own. Other cells, like immune cells and muscle cells, have the ability to move independently within the body.
