Passive mechanisms refer to systems that respond automatically and do not require external energy input to operate. These mechanisms rely on physical properties such as shape, material, or gravity to perform their function without active control. Examples include a door closing due to gravity or a see-saw balancing based on the distribution of weight.
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.
Passive transport mechanisms, such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion, do not require the cell to expend energy. These processes rely on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
It is an active transport,Transport mechanisms fall into two catagories passive and active. Passive transport mechanisms do not require the cell to do work for the substance to enter or leave the cell. Instead the energy involved comes from the kinetic energy of the molecules in solution. Active transport mechanisms involve the cell to use cellular energy usually in the form of ATP to power special protein pumps to bring material into the cell.Passive transport mechanisms Active Transport mechanismsSimple diffusionOsmosisFacilitated DiffusionSimple protein channelsGated channelsActive transport via protein pumpsBulk flow mechanismsendocytosisphagocytosispinocytosisexocytosisThe passive transport mechanisms and the protein pump mechanisms involve movement of substances as single molecules across the membrane. The "bulk" flow mechanisms endocytosis and exocytosis enable the cell to take in very large packages of molecules...say a food item from the environment. Many books treat these bulk flow mechanisms as separate from active transport for that reason.
Passive transport does not specifically involve the cell wall. Passive transport mechanisms, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, rely on the concentration gradient of substances to move across the cell membrane without requiring energy input from the cell. The cell wall mainly provides structural support and protection to the cell rather than directly participating in passive transport processes.
Plants use passive transport because it does not require energy expenditure. Passive transport mechanisms like diffusion and osmosis allow plants to move water, nutrients, and gases across their cell membranes based on concentration gradients. This is an efficient way for plants to absorb essential resources from their environment.
Passive transport mechanisms through the cell membrane include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. These processes do not require energy input from the cell.
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.
Movement of substances into and out of cells include passive mechanisms that do not require cellular energy (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and filtration) and active mechanisms that use cellular energy (active transport, endocytosis,and exocytosis).
Passive transport mechanisms, such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion, do not require the cell to expend energy. These processes rely on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Sugar is typically transported across a cell membrane using passive transport mechanisms like facilitated diffusion or simple diffusion. These processes do not require energy input from the cell. However, in some cases, active transport mechanisms such as the sodium-glucose cotransporter may be involved when sugars need to be transported against their concentration gradient, requiring energy.
Passive transport does not specifically involve the cell wall. Passive transport mechanisms, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, rely on the concentration gradient of substances to move across the cell membrane without requiring energy input from the cell. The cell wall mainly provides structural support and protection to the cell rather than directly participating in passive transport processes.
The two main mechanisms involved when nutrients enter the bloodstream are passive diffusion and active transport. Passive diffusion allows small molecules to move across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move molecules against a concentration gradient.
Passive prostheses are artificial limbs that do not have any active components or allow for movement. They are typically used for cosmetic purposes or to provide minimal functionality such as weight-bearing support. These prostheses are lighter and simpler than active prostheses, which are equipped with motors or other mechanisms for movement.
Plants use passive transport because it does not require energy expenditure. Passive transport mechanisms like diffusion and osmosis allow plants to move water, nutrients, and gases across their cell membranes based on concentration gradients. This is an efficient way for plants to absorb essential resources from their environment.
Passive transport does not require energy input from the cell and relies on concentration gradients to move molecules across the cell membrane. It occurs through processes like simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion do not require energy from the cell as they rely on passive transport mechanisms to move molecules across the cell membrane.
