Passive transport does not require ATP because it relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, which is driven by the laws of physics. This process, involving diffusion and osmosis, does not require energy input like ATP to transport molecules across a cell membrane.
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
Active transport uses energy in the form of ATP. Active can force electrons against the electron gradient as in the electron transport chain. Passive transport does not use energy and an example of passive transpost is osmosis.

cell membrane
Passive transport refers to the movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes. The function of the passive transport is that it is used in filtration and osmosis processes.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.

passive transport
No, passive transport does not use kinetic energy. Passive transport processes like osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion rely on the natural movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without requiring additional energy input.
Transport proteins such as ion channels and carrier proteins are used in both active and passive transport processes. Ion channels move ions down their concentration gradient through passive transport, while carrier proteins can facilitate passive transport by allowing molecules to move along their concentration gradient, or active transport by requiring energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.

Passive transport is a means of moving biochemicals, and other atomic or molecular substances, across membranes. Unlike active transport, this process does not involve chemical energy. 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. An example would be osmosis; in osmosis, water molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
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.
