Is kenetic energy used in 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.


What kind of transport across a membrane does not require energy?

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.


How can active transport differ from passive transport?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.


Osmosis does it need energy?

No, actually diffusion is a kind of passive transport, and osmosis is a kind of diffusion. Any passive transport can happen without energy (contrary to active transport). Since, all the things you listed were passive transport, they happen down the concentration gradient and need no ATP.


Is facilitated diffusion an example of active transport?

No, facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport where molecules move across a cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.

Energy is blank from the cell for passive transport?

Energy is not required for passive transport, as it occurs naturally due to the concentration gradient without the cell expending energy. Examples of passive transport include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.


The different between passive transport and active transport?

What type of transport does not require energy?

Passive transport does not require energy, as it involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the input of energy. This includes processes such as diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.


What is the dif frence between active and passive transport?

Why is energy required in passive transport to occur?

Energy is not required for passive transport to occur. Passive transport processes such as diffusion and osmosis rely on the inherent kinetic energy of molecules to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the need for external energy input.
