Diffusion

occurs when a substance moves from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration

Facilitated diffusion

a transport protein provides a passageway for the substance to cross the membrane

Passive transport

the transport of a substance across a membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. does not require energy

Active transport

moves a substance from an area of low concentration to high concentration
