False!
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
No, diffusion is not a form of active transport. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules or ions move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy expenditure to move molecules or ions against their concentration gradient.
Passive transport is a form of transport that does not require an input of energy. Examples include diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion. On the other hand, active transport is a form of transport that requires an input of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is required for processes such as moving molecules against the concentration gradient.
Sodium ions are thought to get into a cell by diffusion through special spores in the membrane and are expelled by a form of active transport .
simple diffusion.
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
ATP is required for active transport.
Transcytosis is a cellular process that involves the transport of molecules across a cell via vesicles. It combines aspects of both endocytosis (a form of active transport) and exocytosis, allowing substances to move from one side of the cell to the other. While the vesicle transport requires energy (active transport), the actual movement of molecules within the vesicles can also involve diffusion. Thus, transcytosis incorporates both active transport and diffusion in its mechanism.
It is a type of passive diffusion, as the water travels along a concentration gradiant. As opposed to active transport, where the substances can pass against a concentration gradiant.
no they are passive transport
