Absolutely, in order for passive transport to occur, the concentration on one side of the membrane must be larger than the concentration on the other side of the membrane. The molecules move from higher to lower concentration.

Does passive transport move with or against the concentration gradient?

Passive transport moves with the concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?

Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move substances with the concentration gradient?

Yes, passive transport moves substances with the concentration gradient.


Is the concentration gradient active or passive in cellular transport processes?

The concentration gradient is a passive force in cellular transport processes.


What id the difference between active and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules from high to low concentration. Active transport is selective and can transport specific molecules, while passive transport is nonselective and moves molecules based on their concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move up or down the concentration gradient?

Passive transport moves down the concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What kind of concentration does passive transport go to?

From high concentration to low concentration.


What is the difference between active and passive cellular transport?

Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.


Is passive transport able to occur against the concentration gradient?

No, passive transport cannot occur against the concentration gradient. It only moves substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.


What is difference between active transport and passive transport?

One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion


How does active transport differ from passive transport in terms of their mechanisms and energy requirements?

Active transport and passive transport are two different processes by which substances move across a cell membrane. Passive transport does not require energy and relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This difference in energy requirements is what distinguishes active transport from passive transport.


Does passive transport move along concentration gradient?

Yes, passive transport moves along the concentration gradient, meaning that substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the input of energy. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis.
