From high concentration to low concentration.
Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide are likely to move via passive transport through a phospholipid bilayer. These molecules can easily diffuse across the lipid bilayer due to their size and hydrophobic nature. Larger or polar molecules generally require other mechanisms such as facilitated diffusion or active transport to cross the membrane.
Passive transport is dependent on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, is dependent on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.Simple diffusion is the unassisted passage of small, hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules.
Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.
Air travel is often considered the most unfriendly environmental kind of transport due to the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions produced by airplanes. These emissions contribute significantly to climate change and pollution.

From high concentration to low concentration.
Passive transport does not require energy as it allows molecules to move across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Examples of passive transport include diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
A kind of transport by which ions or molecules move along a concentration gradient, which meansmovement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
No, osmosis does not require energy input because it is a passive process where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. This movement occurs spontaneously in an effort to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Diffusion is the word you're looking for.
Glucose molecules are moved into a cell via a transport protein called a glucose transporter. This process is facilitated diffusion, a type of passive transport that does not require energy. Glucose transporters help move glucose across the cell membrane down its concentration gradient.
Osmosis is a passive transport process in cells where water molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. It does not require energy input from the cell.
Nutrients typically enter a cell through active transport or passive diffusion. In active transport, specific carrier proteins help move nutrients against a concentration gradient into the cell. In passive diffusion, nutrients move across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.
The process that forces molecules through membranes is called passive transport or active transport. Passive transport involves the movement of molecules across the membrane without requiring energy, while active transport uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and facilitated diffusion, while examples of active transport include primary and secondary active transport.
