Passive Transport

active transport
It's called passive transport for a cell's membrane. (I checked with my science teacher)
Energy-free movement of materials through a cell membrane is called passive transport. This process includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the input of energy.
Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.
Through proteins in the membrane.
The cell membrane can deal with materials through several mechanisms: Passive Transport: This includes diffusion and osmosis, where substances move across the membrane without energy input, following their concentration gradients. Active Transport: This process requires energy, usually in the form of ATP, to move substances against their concentration gradients using transport proteins. Endocytosis: The membrane can engulf materials, forming vesicles to bring them into the cell, which includes phagocytosis for solids and pinocytosis for liquids. Exocytosis: This is the process by which cells expel materials by fusing vesicles with the membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell. Facilitated Diffusion: Specific molecules can cross the membrane via protein channels or carriers, allowing selective transport without energy expenditure.
This type of movement is called simple diffusion.
The three main processes involved in the entrance and exit of materials in the cell are endocytosis (cells taking in materials through vesicles), exocytosis (cells expelling materials through vesicles), and passive diffusion (movement of molecules across the cell membrane from high to low concentration without energy input).
Endocytosis is a process which allows a cell to engulf molecules in their entirety and surround those molecules in a membrane. Transport is when small molecules can actively transport through a cellular membrane and come out again.
Passive transport processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion move materials across the cell membrane without requiring energy. Diffusion occurs when molecules move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, while facilitated diffusion involves the help of protein channels to facilitate the movement of specific molecules.
