Membrane transport

Membrane transport is the moving of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across biological membranes.

Usually, two types are distinguished: Active transport requires chemical energy, while passive transport does not.

v • d • e Membrane transport
Passive transport	Diffusion - Facilitated diffusion - Osmosis
Active transport	Primary active transport - Secondary active transport
-cytosis	Exocytosis - Endocytosis (Phagocytosis, transcytosis, fluid-phase pinocytosis, non-specific, adsorptive pinocytosis)
