facilatated diffusion
when proteins help molecules move across the membrane, it it called Facilitated Diffusion
One method of movement across the membrane is by diffusion, which is related to osmosis.
Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane, while diffusion is the movement of solids across a membrane Diffusion ordinarily does not require a membrane.The movement of particles of a substance by their own kinetic energy from their higher concentration to lower concentration is called diffusion.
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
Active Transport
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
diffusion
facilitated diffusion
No, diffusion of molecules across a cell membrane is a passive process, not active, and arguably the least complex.
The process of moving materials across the cell membrane without the expenditure of energy is called passive transfer
Osmosis.
