What type of transport does not require energy?

Back

Passive transport

Front

What is the primary function of the cell membrane?

Back

To regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between passive and active transport?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main types of passive transport?

Back

Diffusion and osmosis.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
