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

Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?

No it does not..........simple diffusion is nauture


Witch process requires no energy from the cell?

Passive transport processes, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, do not require energy input from the cell. These processes rely on the movement of molecules along a concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to low concentration.


What cell process requires energy?

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


Why aren't osmosis and simple diffusion sufficient for the transport of all substances?

Osmosis and simple diffusion are not sufficient for the transport of all substances due to their nature. They only have the ability to transport substances which can pass through the cell membrane.


What does NOT require the breakdown of ATP?

Passive transport mechanisms such as diffusion and osmosis do not require the breakdown of ATP, as they rely on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. This process does not require energy input.


Why is facilitated transport not common in bacteria?

Facilitated transport is not common in bacteria because they typically rely on simple diffusion or active transport mechanisms to move molecules across their cell membranes. Bacteria have evolved to efficiently transport nutrients and other molecules through these methods, making facilitated transport less necessary for their survival and growth.


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 structure does not require an immediate source of energy to function?

The passive transport process, such as simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, does not require an immediate source of energy to function. These processes rely on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What are the four methods of passive transport?

Diffusion: process of movement of a substance from high concentration to low concentrationOsmosis: the passive of the solvent through a semi-permeable membrane to equalize concentrationsFacilitated Diffusion: also known as carrier mediated passive transport; the movement of substances into cells via carrier proteinsFiltration: process in which water and substances in the blood are pushed through the pores of the glomerulus. The resulting fluid is known as filtration


What does not require energy from the cell?

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.


Does endocytosis occur in prokaryotes?

Yes, endocytosis does not occur in prokaryotes because they lack membrane-bound organelles and do not perform phagocytosis, pinocytosis, or receptor-mediated endocytosis like eukaryotic cells. Instead, prokaryotes rely on other mechanisms such as simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport to take in nutrients and molecules.
