Without a cell membrane involved, this is just simple diffusion. If a cell membrane is involved, it is osmosis.

What is the process by which molecules move from high concentration region to low concentration region without the presence of membrane?
This process is called diffusion. It is the passive movement of particles from high to low concentration, and is against a concentration gradient. Hope this helps!
Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?
Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.
Which type of transport is used to move a molecule for a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration?
active transport
What type of transport is used to move a molecule from a region. Of low concentration to a region of high concentration?
Active transport -
What does the passive in passive transport mean?
Passive Transport is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Some examples are diffusion and osmosis. Basically, it's a movement of molecules across a membrane that doesn't require energy (ATP)
Identify the four basic mechanism molecules use to move through a cell membrane and also discuss them?
the four basic mechanisms are 1 diffusion which is the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration 2 osmosis which is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to that of a lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane 3 active transport 4 bulk transport
Which type of transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region o high concentration?
active transport
Is the process in which molecules move across a cell membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.?
Active Transport - the process of moving particles across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient <- right one

What is diffusion across a biological membrane?
It is when molecules in a cell naturally move from a high-density area in the cell to one of lower density.
In which type of process do substances move down their concentration gradient across the membrane?
Active transport is a process that removes substances from a cell against the concentration gradient. The molecules move from low concentration to high concentration during this process.
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
