Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.

Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Is diffusion a form of active transport?
NO
Are diffusion and osmosis types of active transport?
Yes.
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
Active transport requires more energy than diffusion this is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
What does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?
Active transport is when proteins move substances into the cell while expending energy. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of chemicals through a protein into a cell.
Is diffusion an active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
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 type of transport is carbon dioxide passive or active?
Passive (diffusion).
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?
passive. any transport that is diffusion to get into a cell is passive.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Is facilitated diffusion ion channels an active or passive transport?
passive
Is diffusion active or passive transport of particles across the cell?
Passive.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Is water an active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because of the diffusion.
