Transport of signals, ions, molecules like salt, amino acids, sugars, etc is mediated by some proteins or receptors present across the membrane of the cell. The transport of molecules can occur by simple diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. These require different molecules for the transportation like channel proteins, carrier proteins, or the presence of some receptors.
