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: -Osmosis, facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion do not require energy. They come under passive transport.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -Three transport processes that do not require energy are; diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
