What is Passive Transport: Diffusion & Osmosis about?
Passive transport is the movement of substances across cell membranes without energy, while active transport requires ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient. Key processes include diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, each influenced by factors such as temperature and concentration gradient. The document also discusses the effects of osmosis on animal and plant cells, and the importance of surface area to volume ratio in diffusion efficiency.
