The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of cells. There are two main ways substances can move across the plasma membrane - through passive transport which does not require energy and facilitated transport and active transport which both require energy. The direction of movement depends on concentration gradients and electrochemical gradients across the membrane.
