Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Passive transport is diffusion of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to achieve a balanced concentration.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Which of the following statements is true about passive transport? Passive transport requires no expenditure of cellular energy.
