Answer: False.

Explanation: Diffusion involves the movement of gaseous substances from a region of high to low concentration, without the support of any intetvening medium.

In contrast, active transport as its name implies, engages cellular energy in transporting substances from low to high concentration areas (against concentration gradient). So, you can comfortably say diffusion is a kind of passive transport.
