Passive Transport vs. Active TransportPassive Transport vs. Active Transport
Passive Transport does not require Passive Transport does not require energy (ATP) from the cell.energy (ATP) from the cell.
Active Transport does require the Active Transport does require the input of cell energy (ATP).input of cell energy (ATP).
Passive TransportPassive Transport Diffusion- the Diffusion- the

Hypotonic: lower concentration of Hypotonic: lower concentration of solutessolutes
Isotonic: concentration of solutes is Isotonic: concentration of solutes is equalequal
