The answer you are looking for is 'active transport'.

Here the cell moves the molecule into (or out of) the cell against the concentration gradient. This requires energy.

There are other energetic process such as endo- and exo-cytosis that the cell uses to move large molecules.

Process to eject materials outside of the cell?

Cells can eject materials outside of the cell through a process called exocytosis. In exocytosis, vesicles containing the materials fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents outside of the cell. This process is important for the secretion of hormones, neurotransmitters, and other substances from the cell.


What is energy free movement of materials through a cell membrane?

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.


A non-energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane with the concentration gradient.?

Passive transport is a non-energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane with the concentration gradient. This process includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.

The only time a cell would be entering the plasma membrane would be with a white blood cell. The process is called phagocytosis, a form of endocytosis.


The formation of a pocket of the plasma membrane to bring in solid materials is called?

The process where the plasma membrane forms a pocket to bring in solid materials is called endocytosis. This involves the engulfment of particles by the membrane to create a vesicle inside the cell for further processing.
