Passive transport


What are the 2 transporters of cellular energy?

The 2 transporters of cellular energy are passive and active transport.


What is the difference between active and passive cellular transport?

Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.


The type of transport that requires no cellular energy?

Passive transport requires no cellular energy as it relies on the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient, such as diffusion and osmosis. These processes occur spontaneously to maintain equilibrium within the cell.


Is osmosis of active transport or passive transport?

Osmosis does not require ATP so it is a passive transport.Osmosis is a form of passive transport. Water molecules are small enough to move freely across the plasma membrane without the use of cellular energy.


How is passive transport from active transport?

The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.


What energy is required for passive transport?

By definition, passive transport on a cellular level requires no energy other than some sort of gradient, whether of the molecule in question, or another whose movement across the membrane can be linked to the one of interest.


What are the definitions of cellular transport processes?

Cellular transport processes refer to the movement of molecules across cell membranes. This includes passive processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion, as well as active processes like active transport and endocytosis/exocytosis. These processes are crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and allowing cells to exchange nutrients, ions, and waste products with their environment.
