Is water a passive diffusion or facilitated diffusion or active trensport or phagocytosis?

Passive diffusion. Water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It is not facilitated diffusion, as it does not require transport proteins to assist it's movement. It is not active transport because it is not moving to an area of higher concentration, and it does not require enzymes or energy to move. Phagocytosis is also incorrect because it is when large particles are "enveloped" by the cell membrane of a larger cell and taken into the larger cell.

Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
Differentiate phagocytosis and exocytosis?
phagocytosis and exocytosis are come from active transport but osmosis and diffusion is from passive transport
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What is meant by passive transport of material across a membrane?
"Passive" mean that it does not require energy, therefore the passive transport of material across the membrane means that it can transport the material (cells or whatever) without the function of energy across the membrane.
How is facilitated diffusion different from passive transport?
Mediated Transport has an extra step of binding to a carrier protein, while Passive transport does not bind to a protein. Both of them however, move along the concentration gradient (High--> Low)
What are five transport mechanism where by metabolites nutrient or ions cross the cell membrane?
There are many forms of membrane and cell transport. These are the basic transport mechanisms in a prokaryotic animal cell. Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis Diffusion Exocytosis (this takes two forms; phagocytosis and pinocytosis depending on whether the cell is "eating" or "drinking") Endocytosis Carrier Molecules/Channel Proteins
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
What are the 3 methods of passive transport?
1. Facilitated Diffusion 2. Filtration 3. Osmosis
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
Is osmosis an example of facilitated diffusion or active transport?
No. Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because it does not require the cell to expend energy.
Is facilitated diffusion ion channels an active or passive transport?
passive
What are some examples of passive transport?
diffusion facilitated diffusion osmosis
What are 3 types of passive trasport?
Diffusion, Osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
What are three parts of passive transport?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What are 3 different passive transports?
Diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated Diffusion
What are three example of passive transport?
Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis
What is the difference between passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Passive diffusion is what naturally happens without any assistance of any sort. Facilitated diffusion requires extra energy from extra sources to happen.
