Active: sodium-potassium pump. This uses the energy from ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradients. Sodium goes out of the cell and potassium goes in. Also the proton pump, which moves hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This uses the energy from NADH.
Passive: passive diffusion of fat-soluble molecules across the plasma membrane such as testosterone. Just gets through. No assurance needed. Also facilitated diffusion of glucose into the cell (glucose is too bulky to easily pass through the plasma membrane on its own). The cell uses a carrier protein to get glucose inside it.
