Which type of transport is most likely to be used to move a product made inside a cell to the extracellular matrix? A) facilitated B) diffusion C) active transport D) passive transport

Passive transport is a type of transport in which molecules/substances move from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are low in concentration. Hence, the movement is down a concentration gradient. Since the movement is down a concentration gradient, there is no need of ENERGY. This makes the transport PASSIVE.

In this case, products made inside a cell will be rich inside the cell and deficient in the extracellular matrix. This creates a concentration gradient allowing the movement of the products outside the cell in a PASSIVE manner i.e no energy, because the product is in high concentration (made) inside the cell

Passive transport is most likely to be used to move a product made inside a cell to the extracellular matrix because no energy is used.

What is passive transport?

Passive transport is the type of cellular transport that carries substances down the concentration gradient; it is a process in which there is no energy expenditure.

The molecules cross the membrane going to the place where there is less concentration.

Among the molecules that can be transported by this type of mechanism are water, oxygen and carbon dioxide.

It can be carried out by three routes, simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis.

Therefore, we can conclude that passive transport in cells is carried out in order to enter nutrients and eliminate waste without spending energy.
