Simple diffusion

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.

Osmosis

The movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semipermeable membrane.

Active transport

The movement of molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.

Facilitated diffusion

The movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins, without the use of energy.
