Front

Explain the difference between passive transport and active transport.

Back

Passive transport does not require energy, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is facilitated diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is the process of transporting substances across a cell membrane with the help of carrier proteins, without using energy.
