Fill in the following concept map to review the processes by which molecules move across membranes. 
검증된 단계별 안내1
Identify the two main types of transport across cell membranes: passive transport and active transport.
Recognize that passive transport includes diffusion and facilitated diffusion, which do not require energy.
Understand that diffusion involves the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, typically involving small or nonpolar molecules.
Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins to move polar molecules and ions across the membrane without energy input.
Active transport requires energy, usually in the form of ATP, to move molecules against their concentration gradient, often using transport proteins like pumps.

Passive Transport
Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the use of energy. This process occurs along the concentration gradient, meaning substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Common examples include diffusion and facilitated diffusion, where specific proteins assist in the transport of molecules.

Passive vs. Active Transport
Active Transport
Active transport is the process by which molecules move across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input, typically in the form of ATP. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining cellular concentrations of ions and other substances, allowing cells to uptake necessary nutrients and expel waste products efficiently.

Diffusion
Diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. This process is essential for the movement of small, nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, across cell membranes, facilitating vital biological functions like respiration.
