The pop-up on the top of the page says "This article needs additional citations for verification," which can lower the reliability the readers feel. I recommend finding more sources from academic journals and peer-reviewed papers.

The lead section looks like a good short overview of what the body will cover. The introductory sentence well defines passive transport and is succinct for readers who just needs one-sentence definition. I felt the lead section focuses on physics of passive transport mentioning second law of thermodynamics, Fick's first law, and entropy, which seem too specific for a summary passage to me. I think this can be removed from the lead section and just be discussed in its own subsection in the body part.

The body section is divided into four subsections of the four main kinds of passive transport. As they are what the last sentence of the lead section mentions, the transition feels smooth. A couple of the kinds of passive transport have examples which seem like good information to include. If more topics about passive transport can be covered (physics of the process, for example), the content gap will be filled and be more generally informative for the readers. As I was reading the body section, many of the sentences are not cited, which can be problematic as Wikipedia advises at least one source for every sentence. Maybe this is what the pop-up cautions.

The lead section and each of the four subsections in the body have a related diagram attached. The images are clear and colored for better understanding, but I would work on the captions to be more descriptive as most of them just mention what kind of passive transport they represent.

In the "References" section, three sources are on the bullet points and not in the numbered order. I assume the author(s) meant the information from the three sources are spread throughout the entire article, but I think this may not be following Wikipedia's citation guideline.
