This type of transport is generally called passive transport.
Active transport (or active uptake, as we learnt it ) is moving against the concentration gradient. This requires energy which is why the oxygen is needed (the oxygen producing energy through respiration). It is affected by the concentration of oxygen because the more oxygen, the more energy produced, the faster the process occurs. Diffusion is not affected by the concentration of oxygen because it does not require energy to occur.
Passive transport doesn't require energy and that helps the cell.
No, active transport requires an input of energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to move substances against their concentration gradient. Passive transport, on the other hand, does not require energy and relies on the natural movement of substances down their concentration gradient.
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
because
Passive transport is a general type of transport that does not require an expenditure of energy by the cell. This type of transport relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, such as diffusion or osmosis.
The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.
Active Transport
nothing, passive transport doesn't require energy
Energy
Yes it does.
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
Diffusion is per definition a passive transport process.
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
No energy is needed because it's a part of passive transport, not active transport.
Yes.
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.
