Facilitated diffusion
Symport is a form of active transport. It involves the movement of two or more substances across a cell membrane in the same direction, using energy typically derived from the electrochemical gradient of one of the substances. This process requires energy input because it often moves substances against their concentration gradients.
1. Passive transport processes describe substances moving from regions of higher to lower concentrations without the use of energy. This includes diffusion, which is the basic movement of substances from an area of higher to lower concentration, as well as osmosis, which is the movement of water from an area of higher to lower concentration. Facilitated diffusioninvolves the diffusion of solutes or water through channel proteins in the plasma membrane.2. Active transport processes involve the movement of solute against a gradient, meaning it moves from areas of lower to higher concentration, and requires energy in the form of ATP. Transport proteins assist in moving these substances in and out of the membrane.3. Vesicular transport involves processes that use vesicles or other bodies in the cytoplasm to move large molecules or particles across the membrane. Endocytosis involves the capture of a substance outside of the cell when the membrane engulfs it. Two of these processes are called phagocytosis, in which the membrane engulfs solid material, and pinocytosis, which involves the membrane folding inward to form a channel for liquids to enter.
Bulk transport is in 2 forms, exocytosis and endocytosis. Each of these 2 forms can then be sub divided into phagocytosis (movement of solids) and pinocytosis (movement of liquids) When bulk transport occurs, a phospholipid bilayer membrane merges with the cell membrane, and forces the contents of the vesicle in.out of the cell.
Substances and structures are transported within the cell through processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and vesicular transport. Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances across the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Vesicular transport involves the formation of vesicles that transport substances within or out of the cell.
Facilitation in a cell involves promoting the movement of molecules or ions across a cell membrane. This process can occur through facilitated diffusion, where specific transport proteins in the membrane help substances move down their concentration gradient, or through facilitated transport, where specific carriers assist in moving substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient.
The movement of material through a membrane can occur via passive processes such as diffusion and osmosis, where substances move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input. Active transport, on the other hand, involves the use of energy to move substances against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of carrier proteins to help transport specific molecules across the membrane.
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is responsible for regulating the movement of water and substances through processes like active transport and passive transport. It acts as a selectively permeable barrier, allowing certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.

Molecules
It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.

excretion, transport and respiration
Selective transport refers to the movement of specific substances across a membrane, such as a cell membrane or an organelle membrane, through specialized transport proteins or channels. This process allows cells to regulate the passage of certain molecules in and out of the cell, maintaining internal homeostasis. Selective transport ensures that only certain molecules are allowed to cross the membrane, while others are excluded.
Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.
transport proteins
Substances and structures are transported within the cell through processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and vesicular transport. Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances across the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Vesicular transport involves the formation of vesicles that transport substances within or out of the cell.
