I've always had difficulty fully understanding passive transport and would confuse it with facilitated diffusion. This video really clears it up for me. Thanks, Professor Givon, for another great lesson!
Another great video! I learned all about passive transport through this video. I learned how passive transport is basically diffusion and it requires no ATP. Simple diffusion is the transfer of molecules from a high concentration to low concentration. The diffusion of water is known as osmosis. The cell membrane is made up of phospholipids and then facilitated diffusion happens to help the passage of certain substrates. I did not really understand passive transport before this video so thank you for that brief lesson.
I like that you explained passive transport as being (pretty much) diffusion. I have heard it in a separated form before, but, it is so much easier to permanently remember transport mechanisms when you associate the two! Great job, thanks. - MEDA 110 - SU 2020
This video really increased my knowledge on passive transport. I did not know osmosis was an example of simple diffusion. Thank you for the great educational video.
I enjoyed your video on passive transport. The different types are simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and filtration. The examples provided of each were easily to understand.
BIO 327 Fall 2019: I like that every video is consistent with the same background and you writing on the board. Makes it easy to follow along with what you are saying.
Passive transportation is something I struggle to really understand and appreciate this video for the way you talked through it. I definitely feel more comfortable with passive transportation now. -Meda 110 Summer 2021
Nice summary. Passive transport is movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration. Simple diffusion: gases, Osmosis: water, Facilitated diffusion: carrier proteins on a cell membrane allow passage of substrates, and Filtration: water and salts from high to low without energy.
I have never heard of passive transport before today. Thank you for the knowledge! I have heard of facilitated diffusion before but i feel like i have a better understanding now. Thank you. Jessica willis
Brooke Roland, MEDA 110 Summer 2020, This video helped me understand the process of passive transport much better, I struggled a lot with this during my anatomy class last semester. Thank you.
thank you for clearly providing an explanation on passive transport. this is a subject that i had trouble understanding at first compared to active transport.
Bio 327- I liked that you went through each type of transport and gave a good explanation of each one. I didn't know much about passive transport, but your video explained it well in a short amount of time.
It was helpful to hear the definition of passive transport in order to distinguish it from active transport. I have always struggled with identifying the differences between these two types of transport and answering exam questions on these two. This lecture helped provide me with a detailed review of how the passive transport will differ from active. Bio 327 Fall 2019
I did not really know much about passive transport until you explaining more off what it is and how is it apart of our human reproduction. very great video
Bio 327 Fall 2019: great way to understand simple diffusion. This was something that took me a long time to comprehend but when you've explained it here it made much more sense.
MEDA 110 Summer 2020: This has always confused me. I am an aspiring nursing student and I am taking nursing school prerequisites. We go through this topic multiple times and it still difficult for me but this helped alot! BUT still very confused on active transport
I am enrolled in physiology class at Palomar and really needed a refresher on what’s a passive transport. I also needed to know about diffusion. So is Osmosis from a low to high concentration?
This video helps to clearly explain the similarities and differences between diffusion and transport. I learned that a type of passive transport is simple diffusion. MEDA110 Summer 2021
I wonder if passive transport can tie into when your body is being very active and has a high heart rate then goes down when you stop and catch your breath.
You do a good job at explaining what passive diffusion and osmosis is. I think it would be beneficial to not write and explain things at the same time as this pause takes away from the clarity of the explanations.
MESA_MEDA110 Fall 2020: In all honesty, this is one of the hardest times i've had understanding, i think the simplification of diffusion threw me off a little, i could not completely understand the relation between diffusion and Passive Transport, good thing this is a video i can rewatch as much as i need, Thank you for The Videos! :)
