Passive Transport

Passive Transport passive transport Compare and contrast different types of passive transport with active transport, providing examples of each Despite differences in structure and function active transport Passive transport, also known as passive diffusion, is a process by which an ion or molecule passes through a cell wall via a concentration

active transport Perhaps the simplest case of passive transport occurs where membrane proteins form channels through the lipid membrane These either involve only one

passive transport Understand the processes of osmosis and diffusion; Define tonicity and describe its relevance to passive transport Plasma membranes must allow Passive transport mechanisms cause water and dissolved substances to move without using additional energy There are three main passive methods: Diffusion
