Passive Transport CK-12 Foundation passive transport Understand the processes of osmosis and diffusion; Define tonicity and describe its relevance to passive transport Plasma membranes must allow passive transport Compare and contrast different types of passive transport with active transport, providing examples of each Despite differences in structure and function

passive transport In cell biology, passive transport is the mechanism whereby hydrophobic molecules can diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cytoplasm

active transport Passive transport Osmosis Diffusion Simple diffusion Facilitated diffusion Dialysis Imbibition Ion exchange Active transport ไม่ผ่าน cell In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in a process called diffusion A physical space in
