An active process if that is carried out on the expense of energy and the passive processes is that occurs spontaneously in nature. for example consider two solutions separated by a membrane, one side you have high concentration of glucose than other. While passive transport of glucose will take place across the concentration gradient, for active transport, that is transport against concentration gradient, require external source of energy. Passive processes are thermodynamically favourable. The active processes are thermodynamically unfavourable. Thus in biological system most of the active processes are coupled with deposphorylation of ATP. The energy releases by the breaking of phosphodiester bond is used to carry out the active processes.

Is passive transport a non energy requiring process?
Yes; the definition of passive is no energy required
What does not describe passive transport?
Active transport requires energy.
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
Is it true that active transport differs from passive transport in that it does not require an input of energy?
Yes. Active transport requires energy but passive transport does not.
Passive transport requires the cells own energy?
it is false or a no for this question
Witch process requires no energy from the cell?
Diffusion is a process that requires no energy (by an organism).
Which process requires no energy from cell?
The passive ones, like diffusion
Diffusion across a membrane that requires no energy to occur is a process known as?
this is known as "passive transport"
What is diffushion?
Diffusion is when small molecules move in and out of a cell. This process requires no energy aka passive transport!(:
Active transport is the process of what?
Active transport is the process of molecules being moved across a membrane using energy. Passive transport moves the molecules without using energy.
What types of transport requires no energy?
Passive Transport

yyou momm a is ugly
Is passive transport a non energy requiring process?
Yes; the definition of passive is no energy required
Is osmosis an example of passive transport?
Yes, it is, as it requires no energy.
If the movement of molecules requires no energy?
it is called passive transport
Is passive transport requires energy expenditures?
Ask your mom about it.
