Study Notes
Passive Transport
- The movement of substances across cell membranes in passive transport is driven by Fick's Law of Diffusion.
- The main factor that determines the rate of passive transport is the concentration gradient.
- The net movement of material from an area of high concentration to an area with lower concentration is called diffusion.
- Passive transport follows the laws of thermodynamics.
- Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy.
