what are the differences between active and passive transport?
340721
Active transport requires chemical energy because it is the movement of biochemical from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. On the other hand, passive transport moves biochemical from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration; so it does not require energy.

Movement Across a Membrane and Energy There are two major ways that molecules can be moved across a membrane, and the distinction has to do with whether or not cell energy is used. Passive mechanisms like diffusion use no energy, while active transport requires energy to get done.

Differences: Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.

There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient. An example of active transport in human physiology is the uptake of glucose in the intestines.

Active transport requires chemical energy because it is the movement of biochemicals from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. On the other hand, passive transport moves biochemicals from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration; so it does not require energy.

Active absorption occurs through osmosis, or the use of active transport, to move molecules of solute in order to change the water concentration gradient, forcing water into the cells of the root hairs. ... Passive absorption is absorption by the pull from transpiration without the active involvement of the root cells.

In facilitated diffusion, ions, sugars, and salts are transported across the membrane. In active transport, ions, sugars, and salts are also transported. The second similarity is that both facilitated diffusion and active transport use proteins as their means of transporting their materials to and from the cell.

Diffusion relies on random kinetic movement to spread molecules from high- to low-concentration areas. Conversely, active transport exports or imports particles against the concentration gradient -- from an area of low concentration to high.

Requires energy; diffusion and osmosis are types of passive transport. ... Passive transport moves materials through a cell membrane without using energy while active transport uses energy to move materials through a cell membrane. They are both moving materials through the cell membrane.

Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes against a concentration gradient. Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell.

Osmosis is movement of water molecules from an area of their higher concentration to area of their lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane. Active transport is movement of molecules from an area of their lower concentration to area of their higher concentration using energy in form of ATP by pump proteins.

Passive transport moves across a concentration gradient, or a gradual difference in solute concentration between two areas. ... Facilitated diffusion is diffusion using carrier or channel proteins in the cell membrane that assist in the movement of molecules across a concentration gradient.

Active transport is different from diffusion because it requires energy expenditure, while diffusion requires no energy at all.

Both involve ion movement. Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell. ... Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.

Active transport the molecules move from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Passive transport the molecules move from a higher concentration to the lower concentration.

A passive heat sink is one with no moving parts. An active heat sink has moving parts. thus the second image is an active heat sink.

Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
