Final answer:

In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement is facilitated by the substance's own concentration gradient.

Step-by-step explanation:

In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This movement is facilitated by the substance's own concentration gradient. Passive transport does not require the cell to expend energy. Diffusion is an example of passive transport, where molecules move down their concentration gradient.
