Passive transport is called passive because it doesn't require chemical energy intervention to occur. The four main types of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and filtration.

What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
What type of transport does not require energy?
passive transport does not need energy. And two types of passive tansport are osmosis and diffusion
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
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 transport proteins active transport or passive transport?
passive
Is water an active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because of the diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is a example of?
Passive transport & follow me on Twitter at BruhMann_
Is transport proteins a passive transport?
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
Transport that does not use energy?
passive transport
What type of transport does not require energy?
passive transport does not need energy. And two types of passive tansport are osmosis and diffusion
What is differs between active transport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
The difference between active transport and passive transport is?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
