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

Passive 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.

Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
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.
