False
This occurs by both Cytoplasmic Diffusion and also sometimes by an Active Transport bio-mechanism.
Transcytosis is a cellular process that involves the transport of molecules across a cell via vesicles. It combines aspects of both endocytosis (a form of active transport) and exocytosis, allowing substances to move from one side of the cell to the other. While the vesicle transport requires energy (active transport), the actual movement of molecules within the vesicles can also involve diffusion. Thus, transcytosis incorporates both active transport and diffusion in its mechanism.
Plants absorb minerals through their roots. The process involves both active transport, which requires energy, and passive transport, which occurs through diffusion. The minerals are then transported within the plant through vascular tissues like xylem and phloem.
Active transport is the primary mechanism through which phloem absorbs minerals from the soil. Diffusion is not as efficient for transporting minerals over long distances within plants. Active transport allows phloem to selectively uptake specific minerals against their concentration gradient to ensure proper nutrient balance in the plant.
Diffusion and endocytosis are processes that do not require energy; diffusion occurs naturally as molecules move from areas of higher to lower concentration. Endocytosis, while it involves the engulfing of materials into the cell, is considered an active process and does require energy in the form of ATP. In contrast, the sodium-potassium pump is an active transport mechanism that also requires energy to move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients. Thus, diffusion is passive, while endocytosis and the sodium-potassium pump are active processes that require energy.

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.

diffusion
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
