What is passive transport? Passive transport is the movement of substances across the cell membrane without the use of energy by the cell. During passive transport‚ substances move down their concentration gradient‚ hence no energy is required. Passive transports can happen through three different channels‚ namely 1. lipid bilayer 2. pore protein 3. carrier protein SIMPLE DIFFUSION What is diffusion?

The theory of evolution‚ formalized by Charles Darwin‚ is as much theory as is the theory of gravity‚ or the theory of relativity. Unlike theories of physics‚ biological theories‚ and especially evolution‚ have been argued long and hard in socio-political arenas. Even today‚ evolution is not often taught in primary schools. However‚ evolution is the binding force of all biological research. It is the unifying theme. In paleontology‚ evolution gives workers a powerful way to organize the remains of
