Membrane transport classification depends on thermodynamics and mechanism. Simple diffusion of lipophilic gases O2, CO2, steroids occurs directly through hydrocarbon core partitioning driven solely by concentration gradient without protein. Facilitated diffusion via channels like aquaporins and carriers like GLUT1 enhances polar solute permeation down gradient, increasing rate and specificity, still entropy-driven, saturable, no ATP hydrolysis. Osmosis is water movement across semipermeable membrane toward solute, also passive. Active transport moves substrates against electrochemical potentia

Membrane transport energetics divide conceptually into active requiring cellular energy input and passive driven solely by existing electrochemical gradients toward equilibrium. Primary active transport directly couples exergonic ATP hydrolysis to ion movement against gradient: Na+/K+ ATPase phosphorylates aspartate forming E1P E2P cycle extruding three sodium importing two potassium, V-type proton pumps rotate c-ring acidifying lysosomes using ATP, ABC transporters dimerize nucleotide binding domains consuming ATP to expel drugs and lipids. Secondary active cotransporters such as SGLT1 sodium
