Passive transport is when substances move past the membrane without using any energy.
Passive transport is when substances move past the membrane without using any energy.
Diffusion. With the need of energy, it would be called active transport.
passive transport
Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.
Facilitated diffusion is the movement of substances from higher to lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane with the help of specific protein carriers, without requiring energy input.
simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis (water)
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.
Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy. This process includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. These mechanisms rely on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules.
Passive Transport
Passive transport using osmosis and diffusion. Osmosis only applies to the movement of water down a concentration gradient across a selectively permeable membrane. DOH!!!
Through proteins in the membrane.
