Passive.
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
It can be either. A carrier pigeon is active whereas a malaria mosquito is passive.
By definition, passive transport on a cellular level requires no energy other than some sort of gradient, whether of the molecule in question, or another whose movement across the membrane can be linked to the one of interest.

Passive prostheses are artificial limbs that do not have any active components or allow for movement. They are typically used for cosmetic purposes or to provide minimal functionality such as weight-bearing support. These prostheses are lighter and simpler than active prostheses, which are equipped with motors or other mechanisms for movement.
Passive prostheses are designed to operate without the need for an external power source. These prostheses are typically made of durable materials and rely on the user's residual limb for support and movement. They do not have any electronic components and are more straightforward in design compared to active prostheses.
Prostheses is the plural of prosthesis
Prostheses is the plural form of prosthesis
'Prosthesis' is the singular form of 'prostheses'.
Penile prostheses are semirigid or inflatable devices that are implanted into penises to alleviate impotence.
Hip prostheses may be made of metal, ceramic, plastic, or various combinations of these materials.
broneom
Prostheses made from inert materials such as titanium or ceramics would not pose significant biocompatibility issues. These materials are well-tolerated by the body and are unlikely to trigger adverse reactions. Additionally, prostheses that do not come into direct contact with bodily tissues, such as external limb prostheses, would also not require as stringent biocompatibility considerations.
The plural of prosthesis is prostheses. It is a regular plural.
Apex: A hearing aid. Other: Any prostheses that has nothing to do with connecting to the body internally. Example: A hearing aid, plastic prosthetic leg which does not connect to nerves in the body, etc.
