Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Various methods for the transport of specific substances in and out of the cells occurs in the living organism. Some of these processes require energy, whereas some other processes do not require energy at all. The energy-requiring transport is referred to as active, whereas the transport that does not require energy is called passive transport.
