Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
Passive transport is a non-energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane with the concentration gradient. This process includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
Active Transport
Cells transport molecules without using energy through three primary methods: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. Facilitated diffusion utilizes specific transport proteins in the cell membrane to help polar or charged molecules cross the membrane along their concentration gradient. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, also driven by concentration gradients.

The process responsible for involving an antiport carrier moving solutes in opposite directions across a cell membrane is called countertransport. This process utilizes the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient of one solute to drive the movement of another solute in the opposite direction.
Active transport is a biological process that requires the input of energy to move substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. This process utilizes specific carrier proteins embedded in the membrane to transport molecules such as ions, sugars, and amino acids. Active transport is essential for maintaining proper cellular function and regulating the internal environment of cells.

Oxygen can diffuse into a unicellular organism through its cell membrane. The organism utilizes this oxygen for cellular respiration to produce energy.
Simple diffusion moves molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without an input of energy. Facilitated diffusion follows the same rules as regular diffusion (higher to lower concentration and no energy input), but uses protein carrier molecules to allow substances that are fat soluble to diffuse through the cell membrane.
Both active transport and facilitated diffusion involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. Active transport requires energy input, usually in the form of ATP, to move molecules against their concentration gradient. In contrast, facilitated diffusion utilizes carrier proteins or channel proteins to move molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input.
To transport any molecules against a concentration gradient, ATP is required. This process is called active transport. Active transport is enabled by carrier proteins which are located in the cell membrane. To transport charged molecules through the membrane, pore proteins are required.
A compass is typically used to determine the direction you are heading by pointing towards magnetic north. It utilizes the Earth's magnetic field to provide orientation.
