No, diffusion is passive transport.
Active transport would be when there are actual proteins and structures involved in the transportation of molecules/chemicals/etc..
A sure sign is that all of these (that I know of) require ATP.
An example would be the Sodium-Potassium Pump located along one's neurons which actively pumps (aka. transports) sodium and potassium back and forth across the membrane to build up potential charge. This is how "signals" are sent down neurons and around the body.

What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?
passive. any transport that is diffusion to get into a cell is passive.
Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?
No it does not..........simple diffusion is nauture
Is osmosis a type of passive transport with elements such as calcium?
Osmosis is the passive transport of water, nothing else. Any other substances, such as calcium, are passively transported through the process of diffusion.
What type of Transport in a cell does not require energy?
Passive transport, such as diffusion, does not require any external energy from the external source because this process is due to the net movement of molecules or ions from a region of higher concentration t a region where their concentration is lower.
What are three ways molecules can cross the cell membrane?
cell membrane is a lipid bi-layer which allows only fat soluble sunstances to pass through and the remaining essential materials pass with the help of carrier protien..so on this basis the transport is of two types(1) active transport: Active transport uses energy(2) passive transport : does not use any energycheck it out : active-transport
Is facilitated diffusion an example of passive transport?
Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.
Is Facilited diffusion is an example of passive transport?
Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.
What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?
passive. any transport that is diffusion to get into a cell is passive.
Is water an active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because of the diffusion.
Is facilitated an example of passive transport?
Yes, facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. The cell does not expend any energy; integral proteins in the cell's surface membrane act as carriers.
Is diffusion active transport?
No, it is passive transport because it does not require any of the cell's energy.
Osmosis does it need energy?
No, actually diffusion is a kind of passive transport, and osmosis is a kind of diffusion. Any passive transport can happen without energy (contrary to active transport). Since, all the things you listed were passive transport, they happen down the concentration gradient and need no ATP.
Why is diffuse an example of passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport because an organism need not expend energy to accomplish diffusion. In diffusion, molecules simply cross a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
The different between passive transport and active transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?
