Diffusion The movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of lower density.
osmosis The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membreane
passive transport The movement of substances across a cell embrane without the use of energy by the cell
active transport the movement of substances across the cel membrane that requires the cell to use energy
endocytosis the process by which a cell membrane surrounds a particle and encloses the particle in a vesicle to bring the particle into the cell
