How is the active transport different from diffusion?
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
What is the name of the process of how things get in and out of the cell?
The process by which substances enter and exit the cell is called cellular transport. It primarily occurs through two main mechanisms: passive transport, which does not require energy, and active transport, which requires energy expenditure by the cell. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, while examples of active transport include endocytosis and exocytosis.
What are Vesicle-mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
What requires energy diffusion fcilitated diffusion osmosis active transport?
b and c active transpot and faciliated
How does active transport differ from the process of diffusion across a membrane?
Diffusion is the process in which a certain substance achieves equal concentrations in a specific area. Diffusion across a membrane means that the substance is equally distributed between both sides of the membrane, assuming the substance can pass through that membrane (the membrane is permeable to the substance).Active transport is just that, active. It requires energy because it is usually moving substances to a place where they would not naturally move or increases the rate of their disbursing. Active transport can move molecules against a concentration gradient, whereas diffusion cannot.Simply, active transport means that energy is needed to transport the object/molecule while diffusion is a naturally occurring process dependent on the concentration gradients between the membrane.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
Does active transport rely on the process of diffusion?
Yes except, diffusion is a passive process (no energy is required) whereas active transport requires energy. this is because it is moving UP then concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves DOWN it
What is active transport in a plant?
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
What process occurs in a cell membrane?
Electron Chain
A cell moves particles from a region of lesser concentration to a region of greater concentration by what?
The process in which particles move from high to low concentration is called diffusion .
This is the process whereby a protein assists in simple diffusion?
Active transport
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
What process is the is the opposite of active transport?
exocytosis which is when cells absorb materials from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane
What type of transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region to a high concentration?
active transport
How is the active transport different from diffusion?

Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
