Why is no energy required in passive transport? a. The concentration gradient drives the movement. b. The membrane physically moves the molecules. c. Transport proteins move the molecules, so no energy is required.

a. The concentration gradient drives the movement

Explanation:

In passive transport such as osmosis or simple diffusion, there is no expenditure of ATP  thanks to the concentration gradient, there is movement of water and solutes. The movement by gradients usually occurs from an area of greater concentration to another of lower concentration until equilibrium is achieved until the concentrations are matched to the side and side of the membrane. This movement is given by the lipid part of the membrane or through membrane proteins.

bacteria could be both, harmful and to us. harmful bacteria could make us sick and probably even by getting the chances of getting a disease, but good bacteria fight it off with your immune system. there is always bacteria everywhere we go. we need to make sure to wash our hands after using the restroom, before eating, after eating, after petting an animal too. so you see, bacteria is everywhere and is harmful or . i hope this . : ) : ) : )
