Question

compare and contrast passive transport and active transport across cell membranes. match the items below to the type of transport
particles move from an area
does not use cellular energy
to an area of high concentration
passive transport active transport

Explanation:

1. For the "Does not use cellular energy" row: Passive transport (like diffusion, osmosis) doesn't require energy (ATP), while active transport does. So this matches passive transport.
2. For the "Particles move from an area of low to high concentration" row: Active transport moves particles against the concentration gradient (low to high) and needs energy, passive transport is high to low (no energy). So this matches active transport.

Answer:

• "Does not use cellular energy" → passive transport
• "Particles move from an area of low to high concentration" → active transport
