DIFFUSION
The movement of molecules across a membrane down the concentration gradient is a passive process.
Water molecules cross the cell membrane through a process called osmosis, which is driven by the concentration gradient of water inside and outside the cell. Aquaporin proteins on the cell membrane facilitate the movement of water molecules into and out of the cell.
The process that occurs when molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration, against the concentration gradient, is called active transport. This process requires energy to pump molecules across the cell membrane.
The process that can move molecules from a low to a high concentration through a cell membrane is active transport.
Osmosis. Osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane, such as a cell membrane.

Diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane occurs through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, through the semipermeable membrane, in order to equalize the concentration on both sides. This process is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

The process that can move molecules from a low to a high concentration through a cell membrane is active transport.
This process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, where sugar molecules move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input from the cell. Proteins in the membrane facilitate the movement of sugar molecules across the membrane.
This process is called passive diffusion or simple diffusion. It does not require energy input and relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules across the membrane.
Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.
