Passive transport and diffusion are the same thing. Water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, are all examples of molecules that cross cell membranes by simple diffusion

Passive transport is a means of moving biochemicals, and other atomic or molecular substances, across membranes. Unlike active transport, this process does not involve chemical energy. Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, Filtration, and Osmosis are all examples of passive transport. Passive transport is dependent on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, is dependent on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins.
Hope this helps...cheers mate =]
