Question

what type of transport requires no energy and is used in facilitated diffusion? passive transport active transport super transport

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the answer, we analyze the types of transport:

  • Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy (ATP). Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses transport proteins to move molecules down their concentration gradient.
  • Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient, so it's not the answer.
  • "Super transport" is not a recognized type of cellular transport.

Answer:

A. passive transport
