* diffusion - as in salt spreading through water by entropy
* convection - as in active mixing
* transport - as in sound or light passing through.
it is called diffusion
Its called diffusion! Like when salt particles mix with water particles when stirred together.

∙ 11y agoWhen energy moves through substances, that is most often heat, although the same description would apply to electricity, magnetism, sound, and in the case of transparent substances, light as well.

∙ 14y ago- It's either diffusion, osmosis or active transport. More information is needed to answer the question fully.

What is the movement of substances without the use of energy by the cell?
Passive transport.
What is net movement of substances across plasma membrane without additional energy?
Diffusion. With the need of energy, it would be called active transport.
When heat energy travels through solid materials it is called?
The movement of heat through a solid is called heat conduction.
What is the energy source for co-transport?
the movement of one of the transported substances down its concentration gradient
What is the typical movement of energy through an ecosystem?
The typical movement of energy through an ecosystem is upward. This means that food flows through the different animals that eat each other.
The movement of energy through substances longitudinal wave is what?
sound
Movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is what?
It is sound waves
Is thermal the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves?
No, it is totally unrelated to that.
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is sound. :)
What is the movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?
passive transport
What is it called when the movement of materials through a cell membrane without using the cells energy?
Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.
The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?
It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.
What is the movement of objects and substances from place to place is what energy?
Kinetic energy
A step in the movement of energy through an ecosystem is called a?
Its food chain
What is this is the energy associated with movement of electrons through a wire or circuit?
That's called electrical energy.
What is the transfer of heat through the emptiness of space an energy called?
Convection is the transfer of energy through space.
Is the movement of energy through direct contact called convetion or conduction?
conduction.
