One way that substances enter a cell is through diffusion.
Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. When the molecules are even throughout a space it is called equilibrium.
If the diffusion is moving particles from higher to lower concentration, it uses no energy from the cell; this is passive diffusion. However, if it is active diffusion, the cell is pumping out specific molecules into a higher concentration, therefore using energy.

passive. any transport that is diffusion to get into a cell is passive.
The process the cell must use to allow the protein to enter is rather simple and uncomplicated. The cell uses the process of osmosis and diffusion along a concentration gradient to allow for passage in and out of the cell.
the nucleus controls both osmosis and diffusion in and out of a cell
Substances enter a cell through the cell membrane
Oxygen moves into the cell and Carbon Dioxide moves out of the cell due to diffusion
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
The plasma membrane of a cell plays a role in diffusion.
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
If the diffusion is moving particles from higher to lower concentration, it uses no energy from the cell; this is passive diffusion. However, if it is active diffusion, the cell is pumping out specific molecules into a higher concentration, therefore using energy.
Diffusion allows the cell to passively transport the waste chemicals out side of the cell so that the cell is not harmed.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
