Diffusion
~Particles moving for a high concentration to a low concentration.
~ Moving down the concentration gradient
~ Does not require any energy
Osmosis
~ Diffusion of water from dilute solution to a more concentrated
~ Partially Permeable membrane
~ Does not require energy
Active transport
~ Going from a low concentration to a high concentration
~ going up the concentration gradient
~ Does require energy to move molecules and ions across membranes against the concentration gradient
