Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane.

active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.

What are the three process that involves the entrance and exit of materials in the cell?

The three main processes involved in the entrance and exit of materials in the cell are endocytosis (cells taking in materials through vesicles), exocytosis (cells expelling materials through vesicles), and passive diffusion (movement of molecules across the cell membrane from high to low concentration without energy input).


Definition of freely permeable membrane?

A freely permeable membrane allows all molecules or ions to pass through it without any hindrance. This means that there are no restrictions on the movement of substances across the membrane, and it is completely permeable to all solutes.


The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?

It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.


Can diffusion occur without membrane?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules kineticly from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. Osmosis is the movement of molecules thru a membrane.


The movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?

Passive transport using osmosis and diffusion. Osmosis only applies to the movement of water down a concentration gradient across a selectively permeable membrane. DOH!!!

What is energy free movement of materials through a cell membrane?

Energy-free movement of materials through a cell membrane is called passive transport. This process includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the input of energy.

In osmosis which membrane provides net movement of water without movement of NaCl?

A selectively permeable membrane allows water molecules to pass through but restricts the movement of larger solute particles like NaCl. In osmosis, water will move from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through the membrane, causing a net movement of water without the movement of NaCl.

How is passive transport from active transport?

The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
