Transport across the cell membrane Active Transport – requires energy in the form of ATP (Na+K+ pump, endocytosis exocytosis) Passive Transport – no energy required (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion) Active transport is responsible for cells containing relatively high concentrations of potassium ions but low concentrations of sodium ions. The mechanism responsible for this is the sodium-potassium pump which moves these two ions in opposite directions across the plasma membrane. Concentrations of Na+ and K+ ions on the two sides of the membrane are interdependent = same carrier pr
