Answer: Passive transport

Explanation: If the direction is from left to right, then it is passive. Passive transport is like unconscious, like osmosis. If I open my lunchbox and I have a peanut butter sandwich, the peanut butter smell (molecules) will naturally spread around and so someone standing next to you will smell it, and someone 3 seats away from you will smell it. Note that it is EVENLY spreading out, so after a while the person sitting 3 seats away from you will smell the peanut butter with a similar intensity as the person sitting next to you. Active transport is doing something forcefully. If the direction was right to left, then it would be active transport. :D
