When the concentration gradient of solute is equal on the inside and outside of a cell membrane, the solution is at equilibrium.
it depends most of the time YES
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.
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
Yes, passive transport can reach equilibrium. In passive transport, molecules move across a membrane without the need for energy input. Once the concentration of molecules is equal on both sides of the membrane, equilibrium is reached and there is no further net movement of molecules.
Passive transport does not come to a stop as long as there is a concentration gradient. Once equilibrium is reached and there is no longer a difference in concentration on either side of the membrane, passive transport will slow down significantly but may continue at a very slow pace.
The term "equilibrium" is used with passive transport because it describes a state where there is no net movement of molecules across a membrane due to equal concentration on both sides. In active transport, energy is used to move molecules against their concentration gradient, so equilibrium is not reached as the process continues to pump molecules in or out of the cell.
Passive transport refers to the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. An example of a sentence would be: "Passive transport does not require energy to work".
Passive transport requires no cellular energy as it relies on the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient, such as diffusion and osmosis. These processes occur spontaneously to maintain equilibrium within the cell.
Osmosis is a type of passive transport. It is specialized diffusion. It can occur through the membrane itself. Or through an aquaporin channel protein. Other forms of passive transport include: simple diffusion and facilitated (uses channel protein) diffusion.

No, passive equilibrium refers to a state where a system remains at rest or in a fixed position without external energy input. Equilibrium, on the other hand, is a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced. Passive equilibrium can be a type of equilibrium but not all equilibriums are passive.
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
Passive Transport is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Some examples are diffusion and osmosis. Basically, it's a movement of molecules across a membrane that doesn't require energy (ATP)
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
