Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?

Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.


What id the difference between active and passive transport?

Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.


What regulates the rate of passive transport?

the concentration gradient and the membrane


What is true about passive transport?

The concentration gradient is the driving force.


How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?

Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.


What moves solutes against concentration gradient?

The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.


Does passive transport move along concentration gradient?

Yes. Transport that goes down a concentration gradient is spontaneous and therefore does not require energy.


Is movement of a substance down its concentration gradient a passive transport?

yes, Movement of substance down its concentration gradient is a passive transport because it going from high concentration to a low concentration, so it does not require any energy.


What facilitated passive transport across a cell membrane?

concentration gradient


What facilities passive transport across a cell membrane?

concentration gradient.


What homeostatic process maoves particles against a concentration gradient?

passive transport


What is difference between active and passive?

Active transport requires an input of energy and can move substabces against their concentration gradient. Passive transport does not require added energy and can move substances only down their concentration gradient.
