What are the kinds of transports?
Active transportation and passive transportation (found in facilitated diffusion and osmosis)
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?
Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.
Is diffusion and osmosis types of active tranport?
No they're both passive transport
Is osmosis trans active?
Osmosis is a passive form of diffusion as it travels downa concentration gradiant, as opposed to active transport; a type of diffusion that can go against a conc. grad.
Give 2 examples of passive transport?
Passive transport is when molecules pass freely through the membrane moving from the higher concentration area to the region of lower concentration. Three examples of this are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
Passive and active transport?
Active Transpot. -Pumps -Endocytosis -Exocytosis Passive Transport - Diffusion -osmosis -Facilitated Diffusion active requires energy passive doesnt. active against concentration gradient, passive along concentration gradient.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What is the purpose of a cell transport?
Cell transport is movement of materials across cell membranes. Cell transport includes passive and active transport. Passive transport does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy to proceed. Passive transport proceeds through diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
Differentiate phagocytosis and exocytosis?
phagocytosis and exocytosis are come from active transport but osmosis and diffusion is from passive transport
