Why does passive transport not require the cell to use energy to move molecules across the membrane? The molecules are moving from high concentration to low concentration.

The molecules use water to move across the plasma membrane.

The molecules use protein pumps to move molecules across the membrane.

The molecules are moving against the concentration gradient.
