: Passive Transport - Facilitated Transport passive transport Passive transport, most commonly by diffusion, occurs along a high-to-low concentration gradient No energy is necessary for this mode of active transport Passive transport is defined as movement of a solute from a region of high electrochemical potential on one side of the cell membrane to a region of lower

passive transport In facilitated transport , also called facilitated diffusion, materials diffuse across the plasma membrane with the help of membrane proteins
