The document discusses several types of movement across plasma membranes, including simple diffusion, osmosis, active transport, facilitated diffusion, filtration, endocytosis, and exocytosis. Simple diffusion involves molecules moving randomly from areas of higher to lower concentration without cell energy. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport uses carrier proteins and cell energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion also uses carrier proteins but does not require energy. Filtration uses hydrostatic pressure to force small molecules across membranes. Endocytosis brings material into cells through mechanisms like pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Exocytosis is the movement of material out of cells through the fusion
