What are the different types of passive transport?

Answer 1

1. facilitative diffusion-transport proteins provide a pathway for certain molecules to pass

2. osmosis-the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane

3. diffusion- the net movement of the particles of a substance from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated.

(out of a sophomore Biology book)... hope this helps <3

Answer 2

The different types of passive transport include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. Simple diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins to help molecules move across the cell membrane. Osmosis is specifically the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Answer 3

There is regular passive transport, and there is facilitated diffusion in which particles are guided through proteins 'channels' into the cell.
