The correct answer is “passive transport”. This is a movement of biochemicals, ions and other molecular or atomic substances across cell membranes without the need of energy input. The four main types of passive transport are:

  1. Simple diffusion;
  2. Facilitated diffusion;
  3. Filteration;
  4. Osmosis.
