• Active transport

• Endocytosis

Which are types of passive transport? Check the two that apply.

• Diffusion

• Facilitated diffusion

• Endocytosis

• Exocytosis

During all types of passive transport, the molecules involved are moving with the concentration gradient. This means the molecules are moving from _____ concentration.

• low to low

• high to low
