What facilities passive transport across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient.
What homeostatic process maoves particles against a concentration gradient?
passive transport
When are active and passive transport and their types used?
Active transport uses energy in the form of ATP. Active can force electrons against the electron gradient as in the electron transport chain. Passive transport does not use energy and an example of passive transpost is osmosis.
Which type of transport uses energy passive or active transport?
Active transport because it move up the concentration gradient which requires energy to do so. Where as the passive transport goes down the concentration which does not need energy.
Why do cells prefer to use passive transport instead of active transport?
there is no requirement of energy for this motion so it is a passive process
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 regulates the rate of passive transport?
the concentration gradient and the membrane
What is true about passive transport?
The concentration gradient is the driving force.
Is an electron transport chain passive transport or active transport?
passive transport since the protons are moving down their concentration gradient back into the mitochondrial matrix.
Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?
Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.
What moves solutes against concentration gradient?
The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.
What facilitated passive transport across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient
What facilities passive transport across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient.
How can active transport differ from passive transport?
Active transport can occur against a diffusion gradient ("uphill flow).
Does passive transport move along concentration gradient?
Yes. Transport that goes down a concentration gradient is spontaneous and therefore does not require energy.
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
What homeostatic process maoves particles against a concentration gradient?
passive transport
