Which of the following statements regarding passive transport is false? All passive transport relies on a concentration gradient as the driving force Facilitated diffusion can move solutions against their concentration gradient Osmosis involves the movement of water to equalize concentrations Ions require special protein transporters to diffuse in and out of the cell
