Yes, passive transport takes place without the use of energy (ATP). This transport is made possible because the movement that occurs due to concentration or pressure differences. These passive processes are called diffusion and filtration. Diffusion (simple and faciliated diffusion and osmosis) occurs because of a concentration gradient and filtration occurs because of differences in pressure.

A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?
Diffusion (passive transport) needs no energy to take place, and therefore no need for transport or carrier protiens. Active transport uses carrier protiens, as the cell needs to work against a concentration gradient. This requires energy. Diffusion can take place outside of cells Active transport can't take place outside of cells.
What is the difference in passive transport and active transport?
Active Transport is when the cell uses energy to pump a solute across the membrane against a concentration gradient (the place where the density of a substance decreases). Passive Transport, on the other hand, does not require the cell to use energy to move things in and out of the membrane because of diffusion (where molecules move until everything is spread out evenly).Think of it like barrels on a hill. You're actively using energy to push the barrel up the hill (when the cell pumps the solute against the concentration gradient) but no energy is used when you passively let it roll down (the solute rolls away from where everything is concentrated by diffusion until both sides of the membrane are equal to each other).Active transport requires energy.
How do you transport plants?
Molecules moves across plasma membrane by passive transport and active transport. ATP or molecules moving down a gradient may provide the energy for active transport. Hydrogen ions are important in active transport in plants.
Why is energy required for active transport to take place across a cell menbrane?
Molecules are moving against a 'concentration' gradient. Active transportation moving from low to high concentration, while passive transportation such as osmosis and diffusion go from high to low concentration.
When an input of energy is required to move material through a cell membrane what transport takes place?
Active transport requires energy to move substances across a cell membrane against their gradient.

Is a cell required for passive transport?
No. Diffusion (passive transport) can take place without a cell. For example, if you were to put some coloured food dye into a cup of water, the food dye would spread until it eventually was a uniform colour. This is the process of diffusion, which is the movement of a substance down a concentration gradient. Passive Transport means no energy is required.

Is endocytosis an example of diffusion?
Endocytosis is NOT an example of diffusion. It is an example of active transport whereas diffusion is a type of passive transport. The difference lies in the fact that diffusion does not require energy to take place, and endocytosis does.
Why is diffuse an example of passive transport?
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.
How does diffusion take place in the body?
P.I.S.O.- Potassium in Sodium out facilitated diffusion, active transport , and passive transport and simple diffusion.
Where is the best place to use solar passive energy?
solar energy is found in the toilet
A passive process requires energy?
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.
How do you transport plants?
Molecules moves across plasma membrane by passive transport and active transport. ATP or molecules moving down a gradient may provide the energy for active transport. Hydrogen ions are important in active transport in plants.
What is the purpose of the speed of light?
The purpose of any speed is to transport objects or energy from place to place. In the case of light, the transport of energy occurs quite rapidly.
What do waves transport from one place to another?
energy
What is meant when you say that a wave is an energy transport phenomenon?
To "transport" energy means to take the energy from one place to another. Waves are capable of doing that.
