Diffusion is passive, it happens everywhere whether living things are involved or not. It results from the natural thermal motion of particles.

Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?

Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.


Is diffusion a form of active transport?

No, diffusion is not a form of active transport. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules or ions move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy expenditure to move molecules or ions against their concentration gradient.


Are diffusion and osmosis types of active transport?

No, diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, not active transport. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy and moves substances against their concentration gradient.


Diffusion and osmosis are types of active transport true or false?

False. Diffusion and osmosis are both types of passive transport, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the need for energy input.


Does diffusion use vesicles?

No, diffusion does not use vesicles. Diffusion is a passive process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the use of vesicles. Vesicles are used in active transport processes like endocytosis and exocytosis.

Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?

Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.


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.


How does diffusion take place in the body?

Is diffusion active transport?

No, it is passive transport because it does not require any of the cell's energy.


Passive and active transport?

Active Transpot. -Pumps -Endocytosis -Exocytosis Passive Transport - Diffusion -osmosis -Facilitated Diffusion active requires energy passive doesnt. active against concentration gradient, passive along concentration gradient.
