The type of cellular transport that requires no energy.
A
Active Transport
B
Protein Pumps
C
Passive Transport
D
Endocytosis
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: -Active transport requires energy for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules. In active transport, the molecules move against the concentration gradient whereas in passive transport, the molecules move along the concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-4: -No energy is needed from the cell for passive transport because it occurs when substances move naturally from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Simple diffusion is the movement of a substance due to differences in concentration. It happens without any help from other molecules.
