Both, depending on the size of the nutrient. Much of absorption works through either endocytosis or transport of small molecules by simple diffusion.
Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are both types of passive transport and endocytosis requires energy.
Some nutrients are consumed by diffusion and others are actively transported from the digestive tract.

Venom is a toxin that is actively injected into another organism, usually through a bite or sting. Poison is a toxin that is passively ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. In other words, venom is delivered actively by the organism, while poison is delivered passively.
They react actively rather than passively.
Spinal cord can not move actively. It moves passively along with the vertebral column.
Social control refers to a control that is either exerted passively or actively by an action of a group.

There are 2 types of video cards, actively cooled and passively cooled. Actively means there is a fan mounted on the cooling block which is mounted on the card. Passively means there is no fan and just a cooling block mounted on the video card. Your card could have a passive cooling solution.

Plants do not actively get nutrients from animals. Instead, some plants have evolved to form mutualistic relationships with animals, such as certain types of carnivorous plants that capture and digest insects for additional nutrients.
Aspirin and alcohol are two substances that are actively absorbed in the stomach.
Most food absorption takes place in the small intestine. Of the three sections of the small intestine, the duodenum and jejunum absorb the most nutrients. Some nutrients are absorbed in the stomach, but nutrients are absorbed mainly in the small intestine, where the small, soluble molecules are diffused or actively transported from the ileum/duodenum, into the capillaries on the other side of the intestine.
