when diffusion occurs it is because the substance is trying to reach equilibrium, where everything is equally spread out on both sides of a cell membrane. things naturally want to be at equilibrium in nature so this happens automatically and doesn't require any energy. and that is the definition of passive transport transportation of a substance through a cell membrane that doesn't require any energy.

What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?
Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.
A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?
Diffusion (passive transport) needs no energy to take place, and therefore no need for transport or carrier protiens. Active transport uses carrier protiens, as the cell needs to work against a concentration gradient. This requires energy. Diffusion can take place outside of cells Active transport can't take place outside of cells.
What type of transport does not require energy?
Passive transport does not require energy, as it involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the input of energy. This includes processes such as diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?
Glucose molecules entering a cell typically occurs through facilitated diffusion, which is a type of passive transport. This process involves the movement of glucose across the cell membrane with the help of specific transporter proteins.
What type of transport is carbon dioxide passive or active?
Carbon dioxide transport is passive because it moves across cell membranes by simple diffusion, down its concentration gradient. However, in the blood, most carbon dioxide is carried in the form of bicarbonate ions, which is facilitated by specific enzymes and transport proteins.
What form transport is facilitated diffusion?
Passive Transport
Is a specialized form of diffusion and diffusion is a type of passive transport?
membrane
Is a specialized form of diffusion and diffusion is a type of passive transport.?
membrane
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Is diffusion passive or active transport?
Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.
Is diffusion a passive transport?
diffusion
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
Is diffusion an active or a passive transport?
Passive.
What are all the kinds of passive transport except?
Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
Osmosis and diffusion are examples of passive transport?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion are both examples of passive transport.
Does diffusion require the cell to respire?
Diffusion is a form of passive transport, so nothing is required for it to occur.
Facilitated diffusion is a example of?
