Which of the following statements is true about passive transport?

user100 [1]

Answer:

No cellular energy is needed in the Passive transport.

Explanation:

A movement of atomic molecules and ions throughout the cell membrane is known as passive transport. In this transportation of molecules no cellular energy is used.

As this movement is influenced by the tendency to grow as entropy, the energy is not in need unlike the active transport. Its rate depends on the permeability of cell membrane. There are four types of passive transport- facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion osmosis or filtration.

B. a toaster being used to toast bread

D. a car horn honking

Explanation:

Energy transformation is the conversion of one form of energy to another form in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. According to this question, Phil is observing a flashlight, which turns chemical energy (batteries) into light energy.

From the examples given in this question, the following are examples of scenarios that involve energy transformation:

- A lamp being turned on: This converts chemical energy to light energy.

- A toaster being used to toast bread: This converts electrical energy to heat energy.

- A car horn honking: This converts electrical energy to sound energy.

Note that, melting of a chocolate does not transform any form of energy.
