    Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. There are two main types of transport across cell membranes: passive transport which includes diffusion and osmosis, and does not require energy, and active transport which includes mechanisms like the sodium-potassium pump and protein pumps and requires energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient. Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion where water moves through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to lower concentration.
