    This document summarizes different transport mechanisms in cells, including diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration down a concentration gradient. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules down a water potential gradient. Active transport requires energy and moves molecules against a concentration gradient. Factors like surface area, concentration gradients, and thin membranes facilitate efficient transport in organisms.
