passive

Examples of passive in the following topics:

• Avoiding Passive Voice

  • A way to focus your sentences on action and actors is to use the active voice rather than the passive voice.
  • For example, "the changes were recommended by the consultant" is an example of the passive voice.
  • Research shows that readers comprehend active sentences more rapidly than passive ones.
  • In the passive voice, a sentence can describe an action without telling who did it.
  • Using the passive voice in your writing can obscure the meaning of your message.

• Passive Immunization

  • Passive immunization can be exogenously administered (artificial) or transferred from mother to fetus (natural).
  • There are two types of passive immunity: artificial and natural .
  • Artificial passive immunity is achieved by infusion of serum or plasma containing high concentrations of antibody.
  • Breast milk also contains antibodies, which means that babies who are breastfed have passive immunity for longer periods of time.
  • Describe how artificial and natural passive immunity function to provide antibody protection against microorganisms

• Active Voice vs. Passive Voice

  • Instead, passive voice frames the subject as receiving the action.
  • Most sentences can be phrased to be in either active or passive voice.
  • Intransitive verbs can never be used in passive voice.
  • Active voice is generally more direct and neutral than passive voice.
  • Passive: The rent check will be collected on the first of the month.

• Natural Passive Immunity

  • Naturally acquired passive immunity occurs during pregnancy, when antibodies are passed from the maternal blood into the fetal bloodstream.
  • There are two ways to acquire passive resistance against disease: passive natural and passive artificial.
  • Naturally acquired passive immunity occurs during pregnancy, in which certain antibodies are passed from the maternal blood into the fetal bloodstream in the form of IgG.
  • Passive immunity can also be in the form of IgA and IgG found in human colostrum and milk of babies who are nursed.
  • IgA antibodies are transferred from mother to child in colostrum and milk and confer passive immunity.

• The Passive Voice

  • Verbs can occur in two different voices, active and passive. 
  • Although English teachers discourage the use of the passive in writing, Latin likes it very much and uses it often. 
  • The passive verb endings are similar to the active but with a few important differences. 
  • The passive voice occurs in both indicative and subjunctive but uses the same endings in each.

• The Role of Passive Transport

  • Passive transport, such as diffusion and osmosis, moves materials of small molecular weight across membranes.
  • The most direct forms of membrane transport are passive.
  • In passive transport, substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration .
  • The passive forms of transport, diffusion and osmosis, move materials of small molecular weight across membranes.
  • Diffusion is a type of passive transport.

• Passive Representatives

  • Passive representatives don't like to sell, but are generally friendly and will take your order if you place one.
  • Passive sales representatives tend to fall into one of two categories:

• Active and Passive Humoral Immunity

  • There are two types of humoral immunity, active and passive humoral immunity.
  • Active immunity can either be naturally occurring or passive.
  • Passive immunity can occur naturally or artificially.
  • Maternal passive immunity is a type of naturally acquired passive immunity, and refers to antibody-mediated immunity conveyed to a fetus by its mother during pregnancy.
  • Passive transfer is used to help treat those with immunodeficiency.

• Transport of Electrolytes across Cell Membranes

  • Ions cannot diffuse passively through membranes; instead, their concentrations are regulated by facilitated diffusion and active transport.
  • Water passes through semi-permeable membranes by passive diffusion, moving along a concentration gradient and equalizing the concentration on either side of the membrane.
  • Electrolyte ions may not be able to passively diffuse across a membrane, but may instead require special mechanisms to cross the semi-permeable membrane.
  • All movement can be classified as passive or active.
  • Passive transport, such as diffusion, requires no energy as particles move along their gradient.

• Structures Used in Voice Production

  • Passive and active articulation shapes and refines phonation (vocal sound production) into the sounds and words used in communication.
  • The passive place of articulation is the place on the more stationary part of the vocal tract where the articulation occurs.
  • These areas are passive because no specific action or activity is involved within that area to pronounce the consonant. 
  • Passive places of articulation include:
  • Places of articulation (active and passive): 1.
