Answer

Passive transport differs from active transport in that it equalizes the concentration of the substance on both sides of a cell membrane. Furthermore, a concentration gradient exists for substances to move passively across a cell membrane, where molecules spread from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated until they are equally distributed in that space.
