You can use it like this: passive transport is when particles move across the cell membrane without using energy.

∙ 12y agoPassive transport is a process in cells where substances move across the cell membrane without requiring energy input. An example of passive transport is the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the cell membrane through simple diffusion.
Water can use both passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport involves movement of water molecules across a membrane without the need for energy, while active transport involves the use of energy to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.

The only different between passive and active transport is the use of energy. In passive transport, molecules can either diffuse across the membrane, go through an aquaporin or use a passive transporter. In active transport, energy needs to be released, and it is usually because you are trying to transport a molecule or ion up its concentration gradient.
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
Passive transport refers to the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. An example of a sentence would be: "Passive transport does not require energy to work".
Water diffusing from a high to low area (osmosis) is called passive transport.
Passive transport, such as simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, allows certain substances (like gases, small molecules, and water) to move across the cell membrane without the input of energy. This movement occurs down the concentration gradient from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Water can use both passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport involves movement of water molecules across a membrane without the need for energy, while active transport involves the use of energy to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.
Proteins that carry out passive transport include channel proteins and carrier proteins. Passive transport is "passive" because it does not use energy. The use of passive transport is also called "facilitated diffusion." Proteins that carry out passive transport includes the proton pump and the sodium-potassium pump; these require energy to function.

Active transport is used when cells need to move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP. Passive transport, such as diffusion and osmosis, is used when molecules move down their concentration gradient without the need for energy input. The choice between active and passive transport depends on the specific needs of the cell and the concentrations of the molecules involved.
