Which does NOT require energy to occur?
A
Passive Transport
B
Active Transport
C
Endocytosis
D
Exocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Passive transport: This does not require any energy expenditure as it occurs along the concentration gradient of the molecule being translocated. Examples include simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -1 Lipid diffusion (simple diffusion) Passive transport requires no energy input, as compounds are able to move freely across the membrane based only on a favourable concentration gradient (Figure 1.11).

Detailed explanation-3: -Passive transport, most commonly by diffusion, occurs along a concentration gradient from high to low concentration. No energy is necessary for this mode of transport.

Detailed explanation-4: -Passive transport does not require energy input. An example of passive transport is diffusion, the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Sometimes, molecules cannot move through the cell membrane on their own.

Detailed explanation-5: -Three transport processes that do not require energy are; diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
