Passive Transport Intro · ‘Passive transport, also known as passive diffusion, is a process by which an ion or molecule passes through a cell wall via a concentration gradient, or from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It’s like moving from the train to the platform of a subway station or stepping out of a crowded room. Basically, passive transport gives an ion or molecule “room to breathe.”’ - https://biologydictionary.net/passive-transport/ · There are different types of diffusion for passive transport: o Simple diffusion o Facilitated diffusion o Filtration Simple diffusion · ‘Simple diffusion is the process by which solutes are moved along a concentration gradient in a solution or across a semipermeable membrane. Simple diffusion is carried out by the actions of hydrogen bonds forming between water molecules and solutes’. · Lipid soluble, non-polar and small substances are diffused through the bilayer by simple diffusion. Facilitated diffusion · ‘Facilitated diffusion is a form of facilitated transport ....
