Transport across biological membranes can be passive or active. Passive transport mechanisms (like diffusion and facilitated diffusion) move substances down their concentration or electrochemical gradient and do not require metabolic energy. Active transport moves substances against their gradient, requiring the cell to expend energy, usually in the form of ATP.
