| 4971326697 | Facilitated Diffusion | Use of carrier PROTEINS for diffusion, does not require energy for a molecule to travel across the membrane Moves molecules from high to low solute concentration | 11 | |
| 4971326698 | Active Transport | movement of molecules or ion into or out of the cell against its concentration gradient (from low to high) and requires an input of energy. | 12 | |
