Question
- which of the following is an example of passive transport? * a cell pumping sugar molecules in using energy. water moving through a cell membrane from an area of more water to less water. a cell using energy to push out waste materials. a cell taking in large food particles with energy.
Brief Explanations
Passive transport is the movement of substances across the cell - membrane without the use of energy. Osmosis, which is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, is a type of passive transport. The other options involve the use of energy (active transport or endocytosis).
