Since you are talking about the movement of particles, it would not be osmosis, because osmosis is the movement of water. Technically speaking, you could consider water a particle, but it is assumed that this question refers to movement of soluteparticles, and not solvent particles. Then, to determine if the movement is active or passive, one needs to know if energy is required and if the movement is up or down the concentration gradient. No energy requirement, it is passive. If a source of energy is needed, then it is active transport. Not sure what a protein doorway is. If you mean a pore, then the movement may be passive, or even facilitated diffusion.

What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?

Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.


Is osmosis in passive or active transport?

Passive Transport, i think.


Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport?

Yes, osmosis and diffusion are both examples of passive transport.


Is osmosis active or a passive transport?

Passive.

Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?

Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.


Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?

passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.


Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.


What structure allow small particles to cross cell membrane?

Osmosis.


Is osmosis active or passive transport?

It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
