passive diffusion requires absolutely nothing, no energy either, the particles simply flow from a high concentration gradient to a low concentration gradient. Active transport however require carrier proteins to allow the particles through the cell membrane

Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?

Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.


What is the defference between active transpors and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport moves molecules along their concentration gradient without energy input. Active transport is typically carried out by transport proteins, such as pumps, while passive transport can occur through simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion.

Is facilitated diffusion active?

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.


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 diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?

Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).


What id the difference between active and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules from high to low concentration. Active transport is selective and can transport specific molecules, while passive transport is nonselective and moves molecules based on their concentration gradient.
