Q: Is simple diffusion a passive or active transport process? - CK-12 simple diffusion Diffusion Across the Plasma Membrane The simplest mechanism by which molecules can cross the plasma membrane is passive diffusion During simple diffusion Solutes that cross the membrane by simple diffusion tend to be hydrophobic Examples of substances that cross the membrane by simple diffusion are the gasses

simple diffusion Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of substances, such as biological molecules or ions, across a plasma membrane by means of a

simple slots Facilitated diffusion Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that uses specialized One way facilitated diffusion functions is to move molecules across the cell membrane by using channel proteins These proteins are embedded in the plasma
