What are the different forms of Passive transport?

In: Microbiology, Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

1. facilitative diffusion-transport proteins provide a pathway for certain molecules to pass

2. osmosis-the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane

3. diffusion- the net movement of the particles of a substance from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated.
(out of a sophomore Biology book)... hope this helps <3

Relevant answers:

How is passive transport different form active transport?
Active transport is selective, and passive transport is not.
What is active transport and how is it different from passive transport?
Active transport requires the use of energy to do; passive on the other hand does not require energy to do.
How is an active transport different from passive transport?
Active transport consumes energy (in the form of ATPs or electrochemical gradients) and propels materials against a concentration gradient.
How is active transport different from passive transport?
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active...
How is passive transport different then active transport?
An example of passive transport would be the process of osmosis (water diffusing between a membrane-- from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration). It is known as passive...
