Question

What “drives” active transport and what “drives “ passive transport?

Answer 1

The second law of thermodynamics

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes.

Answer 2

Passive transport uses the kinetic energy and natural entropy of molecules moving down a gradient. While active transport uses cellular energy to move against a gradient.
