from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (if it is water)

the opposite if it is a solid

What is a substance that moves across a cell membrane without using the cells energy tends to move?

away from the area where it is more concentrated


Given that a nonpolar substance is more concentrated outside of a cell how does it get across a cell's plasma membrane without the expenditure of energy?

Osmosis and diffusion.


How does a polar substance get across a cells plasma membrane without the expendture of energy assuming it is more concentrated outside the cell?

What uses a protein to move a molecule across a membrane without energy?

Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.

it goes in straight lines


What process does not require energy to move a substance across a membrane?

Osmosis because it is the equalization of pressure.


What used a protein to move a molecule across a cell membrane without energy?

Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.


When sugars pass across a membrane without the use of energy?

Passive transport.


Substances that move across a cell membrane without using energy?

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy. This process includes simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. These mechanisms rely on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules.


What is the difference between facilitated diffusion with the help of a carrier protein and active transport with the help of a transport protein?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport in which a substance moves across the cell membrane from high to low concentration. In this situation, the substance moves with the concentration gradient, and with the help of carrier molecules, it is able to make it's way across the membrane smoothly and without the expense of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, is the movement of a substance across the cell membrane from low to high concentration, making the transport a bit more difficult and calling for the use of energy. Transport proteins recognize the substance and allow it to cross through the membrane.
