What is the diffusion problem how is it solved in eukaryotic cells?

The diffusion problem is based on relative concentrations in and outside of the cell and a lipid bilayer´s permeability to most of the ions essential to cell processes. It is solved by active transport and facilitated diffusion through protein channels and pumps both passively and through the use of ATP. .... I think ...


Are nutrients absorbed passively or actively in the digestive tract?

Both, depending on the size of the nutrient. Much of absorption works through either endocytosis or transport of small molecules by simple diffusion. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are both types of passive transport and endocytosis requires energy.
