Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The plasma membrane consists of proteins that allow transport of molecules. These transport mechanisms are either passive or active in nature, which depends on the energy. Active transport mechanisms require energy for transport of molecules as they move molecules against a concentration gradient. Diffusion is simply the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
