Diffusion across a membrane
• Diffusion of water
across a membrane
• Moves from HIGH
water potential (low
Semipermeable
solute) to LOW water membrane
potential (high solute)

TRANSPORT
Active Transport
• Requires energy or
ATP
• Moves materials from
LOW to HIGH
concentration
• AGAINST
concentration gradient
Example of Active Transport: Sodium-Potassium Pump
