|
|
Passive movement includes:
|
Filtration, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion
|
|
Diffusion
|
Movement of a substance toward an area of lower concentration

Facilitated diffusion
|
Uses transport proteins. Lipid bilayer has proteins that serve as channels and receptors for aqueous solutes to enter and exit the cell. This is the main way glucose is moved into the cells
