The plasma membrane has a double layer of phospholipids with _____ dispersed throughout.
The process where cells move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration is called active transport. This process requires energy in the form of ATP to pump molecules against their concentration gradient.
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of that molecule to an area of lower concentration is called simple diffusion.
It is called diffusion. Diffusion is the process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to equalize the concentration levels.

active
When molecules move down the concentration gradient, they are moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs spontaneously to equalize the concentration of molecules in the given environment.
low concentration
Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). A related term: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration without using ATP (energy). In contrast, active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration but DOES use ATP (energy).

The process where cells move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration is called active transport. This process requires energy in the form of ATP to pump molecules against their concentration gradient.
high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
This process is called diffusion. Diffusion occurs spontaneously in order to establish equilibrium, where the concentration of molecules is the same throughout a system. This movement is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
The mechanism by which molecules move from areas of low to high concentration is called active transport. This process requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Passive transport, on the other hand, allows molecules to move from areas of high to low concentration without the need for energy.
