Passive transport

IntroductionActive and passive transport are two processes that help supply nutrients, water, oxygen, and other essential molecules to the body's cells

In cell biology, passive transport is the mechanism whereby hydrophobic molecules can diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cytoplasm

passive transport All forms of diffusion are passive transport In facilitated diffusion, molecules move down their concentration gradients

active transport Summary · Passive transport does not require energy input · An example of passive transport is diffusion, the movement of molecules from an
