No.
Diffusion is a passive process. This means that it carries on without any energy being supplied, except for the energy that all atoms have at temperatures above absolute zero (zero degrees Kelvin).
If you leave a lump of sugar in a cup tea for a few months, it will dissolve and then spread through the tea by diffusion. No cells needed. But it's quicker to buy a teaspoon!

∙ 13y agoNo, a cell does not use energy for diffusion. If a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a cell membrane than the other, the molecules of the substance will naturally diffuse through the cell membrane to reach equilibrium. This happens in the alveoli of your lungs every time you inhale and exhale.
Active transport, however, will require energy.

∙ 12y agoDiffusion is powered by the potential energy derived from a concentration gradient, and thus does out require an outside input of energy.

What requires no energy from the cell?
facilitated diffusion
Witch process requires no energy from the cell?
Diffusion is a process that requires no energy (by an organism).
What process requires energy from the cell?
facilitated diffusion
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport refer to cell membrane and its properties?
Diffusion requires no energy as it follows the electrochemical gradient. Active transport requires energy (ATP), as it works against the electrochemical gradient.
Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?
No it does not..........simple diffusion is nauture

facilitated diffusion
Witch process requires no energy from the cell?
Diffusion is a process that requires no energy (by an organism).
What process requires energy from the cell?
facilitated diffusion
Which process requires no energy from the cell?
Facilitated diffusion.
Which process requires no energy from cell?
The passive ones, like diffusion
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport refer to cell membrane and its properties?
Diffusion requires no energy as it follows the electrochemical gradient. Active transport requires energy (ATP), as it works against the electrochemical gradient.
What is diffushion?
Diffusion is when small molecules move in and out of a cell. This process requires no energy aka passive transport!(:
What requires the use of energy and help of transport proteins to move a molecule across a cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion
Does passive transport rely on diffusion or energy?
No it does not..........simple diffusion is nauture
What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?
facilated diffusion cause when yer active you use energy
What requires the use of energy and the help of transport proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion
