Simple diffusion does not require any energy input - as this moves down a concentration gradient.

Does active transport rely on the process of diffusion?
Yes except, diffusion is a passive process (no energy is required) whereas active transport requires energy. this is because it is moving UP then concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves DOWN it
Bryophytes and Hepatophytes tend to be found in moist environments because?
Bryophytes lack any sort of vascular tissue therefore they are incapable of transporting water over long distances. Because of this, they grow short to the ground and in moist environments where water is readily available to them.
How do cells eat and drink?
Eat - phagocytosis Drink - pinocytosis But these are special cases, inreality most cells rely on diffusion and active transport to get substances across the cell membrane.
Red blood cells and the brain rely on what for energy?
They rely on glucose for energy.
Which process does this animal rely on to produce most of its ATP molecules?
Electron transport chains

What transport mechanism do one celled colonial and simple multicellular organisms rely on?
These organisms use simple diffusion as a transport mechanism.This is possible because of the small size of the organisms. Diffusion is effective over small distances but as size increases it becomes less and less efficient.
What cell process requires energy?
Cell respiration requires the process of energy and cells rely on active transport to provide the amount of energy.

Do sharks rely on diffusion to live?
yes

What do flat worms rely on for respiration and excretion?
Diffusion
Red blood cells and the brain rely on what for energy?
They rely on glucose for energy.
What do active solar heat systems have that passive systems do not have?
Moving parts and special equipment. Passive systems rely on the sun to warm a building through windows and walls. Active systems use solar panels, or solar water panels and use the energy or heated water to provide heating.
Can you have 5 living organisms that depend on diffusion?
All living organisms depend on diffusion.Organisms that rely on diffusion alone are almost always single celled organisms.
Do vascular plants have root?
Non-Vascular plants do not have roots because they rely on diffusion for water.
What industries rely on biomass?
Fuel companies rely on this energy source to power things up. Automotive industries also rely on thin energy source(biomass).
