Most movement of materials is categorized as diffusion, meaning that materials move from areas of high concentration (i.e., a crowded room) to low concentration (an adjoining, empty room).

Some materials move in the opposite pattern, called active transport. This requires ATP (energy).

Finally, the movement of water across a cell membrane is called osmosis.

Keep in mind, the cell membrane controls the movement of all substances. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only allows certain things in and out.
