Diffusion
random movement of particles from high to low concentration
diffusion continues until equilibrium is reached
facilitated diffusion
diffusion of specific particles through transport proteins found in the membrane
Transports larger or charged molecules
Ex. Ion Channel: a transport protein with a polar pore; ions pass through
Ex. Carrier Protein: attach to a molecule on the outside of the cell, transport it across the membrane, release it on the other side
Osmosis
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
