Absolutely, in order for passive transport to occur, the concentration on one side of the membrane must be larger than the concentration on the other side of the membrane. The molecules move from higher to lower concentration.

What kind of concentration does passive transport go to?
From high concentration to low concentration.
Which type of transport uses energy passive or active transport?
Active transport because it move up the concentration gradient which requires energy to do so. Where as the passive transport goes down the concentration which does not need energy.
What is the differece between passive and active transport?
Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expanded by the cell. ACTIVE TRANSPORT REQUIRES ENERGY. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. PASSIVE TRANSPORT REQUIRES NO ENERGY.
What best describes passive transport?
it moves materials from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentrationit moves materials of high concentration to areas of low concentration
What facilities passive transport across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient.
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 is the difference between active and passive cellular transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
What kind of concentration does passive transport go to?
From high concentration to low concentration.
The transport in which substances move from lower to high concentration is what?
The textbook definition of "passive transport" is moving from high to low concentration. You mean passive diffusion..
What makes passive transport passive?
Passive transport is called passive because it doesn't require chemical energy intervention to occur. The four main types of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and filtration.
Which type of transport uses energy passive or active transport?
Active transport because it move up the concentration gradient which requires energy to do so. Where as the passive transport goes down the concentration which does not need energy.
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.
What is difference between active transport and passive transport?
One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion
Is osmosis form of active transport or passive transport?
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.
How do molecules move by passive transport?
During passive transport. The particles do this with out energy. During osmosis is also passive tranport. Active transport uses energy or ATP.
Compare active transport to passive transport?
Active transport requires energy, whereas passive transport does not. Passive transport is normally something moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration (with the grain). Active transport is something moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration(against the grain).
