Difference Between Active Transport and Passive Transport

passive transport  Passive transport: membrane channels The sodium-potassium pump sets the membrane potential of the neuron by keeping the concentrations of Na+ and K+ at Membrane Transport Passive Transport

Passive transport, also known as passive diffusion, is a process by which an ion or molecule passes through a cell wall via a concentration Active transport helps in the uphill movement of substances On the other hand, passive transport helps in the downward movement of substances

Passive transport and selective permeability Passive transport describes the movement of Transport Without Energy Expenditure By The Cell Passive transport occurs when substances cross the plasma membrane without any input of energy from the cell
