Is secondary active transport considered as passive transport?

As sodium on one side has a higher concentration, and travels back down to the lower concentration and brings glucose with it too.

So it is from high -> low, then is it kind of like passive transport?

Based from the given scenario, I can conclude that secondary active transport is indeed considered as a passive transport because the sodium-potassium pump utilizes energy and secondary transport will rely on this. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
