They move via passive transport. They move by diffusion. It's only active transport if A) the cell is too big or not fatty enough to move through the membrane and needs help or B) is making the molecules move unnaturally (low to high). Osmosis is also passive transport, but only is used when referring to the movement of water.

What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What types of transport require ATP?
The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!
What type of transport is carbon dioxide passive or active?
Passive (diffusion).
What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
What is differs between active transport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
The difference between active transport and passive transport is?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?
passive
Is active or passive transport hypertonic?
passive
