Passive Transport Biology for Non-Majors I

Passive Transport Biology for Non-Majors I passive transport Passive transport mechanisms cause water and dissolved substances to move without using additional energy There are three main passive methods: Diffusion passive transport The simplest forms of transport across a membrane are passive Passive transport does not require the cell to expend any energy and involves a substance

passive transport Passive transport mechanisms cause water and dissolved substances to move without using additional energy There are three main passive methods: Diffusion

active transport Other than simple and facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration are two other techniques that work on the principle of passive transport They are also Active and Passive transport are the two main biological process that supply nutrients, water, oxygen to cells and removes waste products
