How is passive transport different in plant cells and animal cells?

Plants have cell walls, whereas animals do not. The cell wall changes the characteristics of molecules able to passively (enter and exit) diffuse into plant cells and this also helps to better retain them inside the cell.

There are two main ways in which molecules are transported into and out of cells - active transport and passive transport. Which of the following statements is true of passive transport?
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
The movement of materials through a cell membrane without using the cells energy?
It's called passive transport for a cell's membrane. (I checked with my science teacher)
Why do cells prefer to use passive transport instead of active transport?
there is no requirement of energy for this motion so it is a passive process
How are passive and active transport the same?
They both transport proteins and molecules across the cell membrance. Each have 3 different types within themselves. There aren't very many similarities. They function in different ways.
Passive transport requires the cells own energy?
it is false or a no for this question
What type of transport does not require energy?
passive transport does not need energy. And two types of passive tansport are osmosis and diffusion
How do materials move in and out of cells and animal cells?
Materials can move in and out of animal cells through one of two reasons: Passive transport or active transport. Passive transport happens naturally and requires no energy on the part of the cell. It usually happens through osmosis, diffusion, or facilitated diffusion. Active transport involves endocytosis, exocytosis, or molecules moving from a low concentration to high concentration. Active transport requires energy.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?
passive transport in and out of cells

Whats the conclusion that passive transport is easier for cells to complete than active transport?
Active transport requires the cell to expend energy. However passive transport occurs because of a gardient.
What are the two general types of transport used by cells to transport materials in and out of the cell?
Active transport and passive transport.

Which type of transport is responsible for oxygen entering into blood cells?
Passive
Passive transport requires the cells own energy?
it is false or a no for this question
Why do plants use passive transport?
Passive transport is useful to all cells because it does not require the use of a cell's energy; this is of much benefit to the cell and organism.
