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: -There are three passive transportation methods-diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two major ways that molecules can be moved across a membrane, and the distinction has to do with whether or not cell energy is used. Passive mechanisms like diffusion use no energy, while active transport requires energy to get done.
