Question

Passive membrane transport processes include ________. movement of a substance down its concentration gradient movement of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration consumption of ATP the use of transport proteins when moving substances from areas of low to high concentration

Answer 1

movement of a substance down its concentration gradient

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may already know, the plasma membrane of a cell has a semi-impermeable nature. This means that the plasma membrane allows only a few very specific substances to pass in and out of the cell. This movement of subtlety can happen in a passive or active way. In an active way, the moment is made through proteins of the membranes. Passively, the movement is made through a concentration gradient, where the substance is able to pass from the more concentrated side to the less concentrated side.
