Naturally, molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration without the need of energy. This type of movement is passive transport. Molecules with strong electrical charges such as ions cannot simply diffuse across the cell membrane. Irrespective of their size, their charge prevents them from moving freely across the cell membrane.
The process of active transport involving membrane vesicles is called endocytosis; it occurs when vesicles assist molecules moving into a cell. Exocytosis is the opposite of endocytosis and happen when molecules leave a cell. Passive transport moves molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Unlike active transport, passive transport does not require energy to accomplish. It occurs via simple diffusion, osmosis or facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion is the tendency of molecules to spread across an open space, as perfume does in a room. Osmosis is the movement of water across a permeable membrane.
