water, small, polar or charged, small; non - polar or not charged, large molecule or large quantities

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Simple Diffusion

Simple diffusion is passive transport (no energy needed), not active. It moves small, non - polar or uncharged molecules (e.g., oxygen, carbon dioxide). It does not use ATP. The type of molecule is small, non - polar or not charged.

Step2: Analyze Facilitated Diffusion

Facilitated diffusion is passive (uses protein channels/carriers, no ATP). It moves small, polar or charged molecules (e.g., glucose, ions) that can't pass simple diffusion. Does not use ATP. Molecule type: small, polar or charged.

Step3: Analyze Osmosis

Osmosis is passive (movement of water across semi - permeable membrane). Not active. Does not use ATP. Molecule type: water.

Step4: Analyze Endocytosis & Exocytosis

Endocytosis and exocytosis are active transport (require ATP). They move large molecules or large quantities (e.g., proteins, whole cells). Use ATP. Molecule type: large molecule or large quantities.

Answer:

Type of Transport	Passive Transport	Active Transport	Uses ATP	Type of molecule being moved
Facilitated Diffusion	Yes	No	No	small, polar or charged
Osmosis	Yes	No	No	water
Endocytosis & Exocytosis	No	Yes	Yes	large molecule or large quantities
