no... it is made up of elements. It does not have cells because it is an element. Think of hydrogen. Its an element.

Yes...typically it will help to drive other solutes across membranes providing energy for the transfer through proteins but it can also cross membranes itself.

Which transport is used to move calcium in or out of the cell?

Calcium is primarily transported into or out of the cell using specialized protein channels called calcium channels. These channels allow calcium ions to move across the cell membrane, either into the cell (via calcium influx) or out of the cell (via calcium efflux). Additionally, calcium can also be transported into the cell by calcium transporters such as ATPase pumps.
