    Testing Cell Transportation Across a Membrane Introduction Cells have the amazing ability to transport certain molecules in or out of their membrane. Some require no energy to do so (passive transport) while others require energy to be processed through (active transport). There is also the transportation of water across a membrane‚ which has its own term of osmosis. Too much of something can be taken in‚ or too little enters. This especially happens to plants‚ who require water (and sun) to live
