Yes except, diffusion is a passive process (no energy is required) whereas active transport requires energy. this is because it is moving UP then concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves DOWN it

What cell process requires energy?

Cell respiration requires the process of energy and cells rely on active transport to provide the amount of energy.


How do cells eat and drink?

Eat - phagocytosis Drink - pinocytosis But these are special cases, inreality most cells rely on diffusion and active transport to get substances across the cell membrane.


Which process does this animal rely on to produce most of its ATP molecules?

Electron transport chains


What transport mechanism do one celled colonial and simple multicellular organisms rely on?

These organisms use simple diffusion as a transport mechanism.This is possible because of the small size of the organisms. Diffusion is effective over small distances but as size increases it becomes less and less efficient.


Which process would the animal rely on the most for its production of ATP molecules?

Electron transport chains


Bryophytes and Hepatophytes tend to be found in moist environments because?

Bryophytes lack any sort of vascular tissue therefore they are incapable of transporting water over long distances. Because of this, they grow short to the ground and in moist environments where water is readily available to them.

Diffusion


Does cytoplasmic streaming occur in dead cells?

Yes Prokaryotes (like bacteria) tend to rely on simple diffusion for the most part. Simple diffusion is the movement of nutrients from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to reach equilibrium. Eukaryotes (our cells are eukaryotes) can and do rely on simple diffusion, but are capable of performing active transport, in which specific membrane proteins essentially "pump" nutrients into or out of the cell as needed. Simple diffusion usually takes a long time. If your body relied on simple diffusion, it would take years for an oxygen molecule in your lungs to get to your fingertips! We have cells that can take up, and distribute nutrients where they are needed, and when they are needed, in a reasonable amount of time. Bacteria and other small prokaryotes can rely on simple diffusion, because they have very small volumes, so molecules will diffuse slowly across their membranes, but the molecules do not have to go very far because of how small the bacteria are.
