Is glucose molecule passive or active transport?
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
What is the active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.?
sodium-potassium pump
An example of active transport?
sodium-potassium pump
Sodium potassium pump is an example of what?
Active transport
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
Why is facilitated diffusion different from diffusion?
A sodium potassium pump is different from diffusion cos, it requires energy (ATP), and therefore is a active transport. Rather then diffusion which is the passive transport of solutions across cell membranes without using energy, and is determined by the concentration gradient.
In a sodium-potassium pump what molecules are moved and where are they moved to?
In a sodium-potassium pump a carrier protein uses ATP in Active transport. The sodium ions are transported out of the cells and the potassium ions are transported into the cell.
What is the effect of decreasing the number of sodium potassium pumps?
When number of sodium-potassium pump decreased, transport of Na takes little more time. Less number of sodium-potassium more time for transport
In cells a form of active transport is?
B: A Sodium-potassium pump
What is the role of ATP in sodium potassium pump?
transport across the membrane
What is the role of ATP in sodium-potassium pump?
transport across the membrane
Is a sodium potassium pump active or passive transport and describe why.?
Potassium is distributed by passive diffusion.
