Facilitated
The molecule will be transported across the membrane by way of a transport protein or protein channel.
Carrier-assisted transport is a mechanism in which a carrier molecule assists in the movement of a substance across a biological membrane. The carrier molecule can bind to the substance and facilitate its transport across the membrane. This process is typically passive and does not require energy input from the cell.
Cells may use mechanisms such as endocytosis to engulf and transport large molecules with the help of specialized transport proteins. These transport proteins facilitate the movement of large molecules across the cell membrane by forming vesicles that enclose the molecules and transport them to their destination within the cell. Once inside the cell, the vesicle can fuse with other cellular compartments to release the molecule for further processing or use.
Two major means of active membrane transport are primary active transport, which directly uses energy in the form of ATP to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, and secondary active transport, which uses the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient of one molecule to drive the transport of another molecule against its gradient.
