What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?

Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.


What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?

diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis


Diffusion and osmosis are forms of?

Both are types of passive transport because they require no energy (ATP) to move molecules.


Explain the differences between osmosis diffusion active transport and bulk transport and give examples of materials exchanged by different methods with a justification in each case?

In diffusion, molecules travel from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. When you put a drop of ink in a glass of water, the spreading of the ink in the water is called diffusion. Similarly, if you spray an air freshener in one corner of a room, eventually people on the other side of the room will be able to smell it as well because the scent has diffused. In osmosis, molecules also travel from higher concentration to a lower concentration. However, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of WATER molecules. Both of these types of transport are examples of passive transport, which requires no energy


What are three ways molecules can cross the cell membrane?

cell membrane is a lipid bi-layer which allows only fat soluble sunstances to pass through and the remaining essential materials pass with the help of carrier protien..so on this basis the transport is of two types(1) active transport: Active transport uses energy(2) passive transport : does not use any energycheck it out : active-transport
