    Passive and Active Transport Worksheet

    This document contains information about passive and active transport. Passive transport includes diffusion and osmosis, which move molecules down their concentration gradient without requiring energy. Active transport uses energy and transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient, such as endocytosis and exocytosis. If active transport proteins stopped working in a cell, it could negatively affect the cell by preventing amino acids from entering.
