Passive transport. Substances diffuse spontaneously down their concentration gradients, crossing a membrane with no expenditure of energy by the cell. The rate of diffusion can be greatly increased by transport proteins in the membrane. Active transport. Some transport proteins act as pumps, moving substances across a membrane against their concentration gradients. Energy for this work is usually supplied by ATP.
Diffusion. Hydrophobic molecules and (at a slow rate) very small uncharged polar molecules can diffuse through the lipid bilayer. Facilitated diffusion. Many hydrophilic substances diffuse through membranes with the assistance of transport proteins, either channel or carrier proteins. ATP

PINOCYTOSIS Pinocytosis vesicles forming (arrows) in a cell lining a small blood vessel (TEM). 0.5 µm In pinocytosis, the cell “gulps” droplets of extracellular fluid into tiny vesicles. It is not the fluid itself that is needed by the cell, but the molecules dissolved in the droplet.
Because any and all included solutes are taken into the cell, pinocytosis is nonspecific in the substances it transports. Plasma membrane Vesicle In phagocytosis, a cell engulfs a particle by Wrapping pseudopodia around it and packaging it within a membrane- enclosed sac large enough to be classified as a vacuole. The particle is digested after the vacuole fuses with a lysosome containing hydrolytic enzymes. PHAGOCYTOSIS
