Types of cell movements are diffusion, active transport, exocythosis and endocythosis. Diffusion itself is divided into 2 movements which are facilitated difusion and osmosis. And endocythosis consist of phagocythosis and pinocythosis. Below are the description of each movements.
Diffusion is a process in which cells become speciailzed in structure and function.
Osmosis is diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Facilitated Diffusion is movement of specific molecules across cell membranes through protein channels.
Active transport is energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference.
Endocytosis is a process by which a cell takes material into the cell by infolding of the cell membrane.
Phagocytosis is a process in which extensions of cytoplasm surround and engulf large particles and take them into the cell.
Pinocytosis is a process in which a cell takes liquid in from the surrounding environment.
Exocytosis is a process by which a cell releases large amounts of material.
