Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
What are examples of passive transport and active transport?
Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.
What are two examples of passive transport?
- Oxygen -Carbon Dioxide -Osmosis of water
The type of transport that requires no cellular energy?
walking ,riding your bike,non electric scooter, skate board,
What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Is water an active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because of the diffusion.
Is osmosis is an example of active or passive transport?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water trough a selectively permeable membrane. However, water passes quite easily across most membranes. So it's mostly known as passive transport
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
Is osmosis an active transport?
It is a type of passive diffusion, as the water travels along a concentration gradiant. As opposed to active transport, where the substances can pass against a concentration gradiant.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.

How do you put passive transport in a sentence?
Water diffusing from a high to low area (osmosis) is called passive transport.
What are two examples of passive transport?
- Oxygen -Carbon Dioxide -Osmosis of water
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).
Do passive transport involved in the transport of water soluble drugs such as ukrain?
no
Does passive transport require water?
yes
What kind of transport are passive?
Water and lipids
