if it is against a concentration difference.
"Passive" mean that it does not require energy, therefore the passive transport of material across the membrane means that it can transport the material (cells or whatever) without the function of energy across the membrane.
Active transport requires energy and proteins to move the materials across the cell membrane. This is in contrast to osmosis, which doesn't require energy to move the material.
Active transport requires energy to move substances across a cell membrane against their gradient.
Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
Ghh
The process of moving materials across the cell membrane without the expenditure of energy is called passive transfer
active transport
ATP transports energy across a cells membrane
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
The carbohydrates help identify chemical signals and define the characteristics of the cell.
