It occurs when there are more of that certain molecule on the outside of the cell than the inside. When this is the case, the molecule will automatically pass through the membrane without the cell using energy.

What is the meaning of the passive transport?

The inter-membranous transport occurs in two ways: 1) Active Transport: occurs against the concentration gradient, Expenditure of energy occurs. 2) Passive transport: Refers to phenomena wherein transfer occurs along the concentration gradient i.e. from high concentration to low concentration, without any expenditure of energy.

What is the defference between active transpors and passive transport?

The difference between active and passive transport, is that, active transport, requires energy input from the cell, in order to occur, unlike passive, which occurs, without any energy input.

Passive transport, which includes diffusion and osmosis.


Does passive transport take place without the use of energy?

Yes, passive transport takes place without the use of energy (ATP). This transport is made possible because the movement that occurs due to concentration or pressure differences. These passive processes are called diffusion and filtration. Diffusion (simple and faciliated diffusion and osmosis) occurs because of a concentration gradient and filtration occurs because of differences in pressure.
