There are two types of transport mechanisms  1.Passive Transport - it is of three types -      i. Simple Diffusion      ii. Facilitated Diffusion      iii.Ion Channels 2.Active Transport -  Click here for detailed notes PASSIVE TRANSPORT This type of transport mechanism does not require energy. Movement of molecules occur along the concentration gradient. Types of Passive Transport -  Osmosis is a type of Simple Diffusion in which water molecules move from high concentration area to low concentration area through a selectively permeable membrane.
