Diffusion is an example of passive transport because an organism need not expend energy to accomplish diffusion. In diffusion, molecules simply cross a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

What helps molecules diffuse across membrane through transport proteins?
A process known as passive transport helps molecules to diffuse across a membrane. Passive transport does not involve the use of chemical energy, unlike active transport does.
Facilitated diffusion is a example of?

Is a passive transport an example of an essential nutrient for the cell?
Passive transport is not an example of essential nutrients for the cell.
Is an example of?
passive transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
Is endocytois an example of active or passive transport?
Endocytosis is an example of active transport.
Is an example of diffusion?
passive transport
A sentence for the word passive transport?
Passive transport refers to the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. An example of a sentence would be: "Passive transport does not require energy to work".
Is diffusion and example of passive transport?
yes it is
What are examples of passive transport and active transport?
Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.
What does active transport look like?
The only different between passive and active transport is the use of energy. In passive transport, molecules can either diffuse across the membrane, go through an aquaporin or use a passive transporter. In active transport, energy needs to be released, and it is usually because you are trying to transport a molecule or ion up its concentration gradient.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
