What separates active transport from passive transport?
Active transport is when a cell needs to use energy in or to let substances pass in through or out or its cell membrane or cell wall. Passive transport requires to energy at all making substances like water easy to let pass through.
What kind of substances are likely to move via passive transport through phospholipod bilyer?
transport of materials through cell wall without energy.
How is passive transport different in plant cells and animal cells?
Plants have cell walls, whereas animals do not. The cell wall changes the characteristics of molecules able to passively (enter and exit) diffuse into plant cells and this also helps to better retain them inside the cell.
Do bacteria have mouths?
Some bacteria create enzymes which travel through the cell wall and digest the food. Then the digested food gets absorbed back through the skin of the cell. This method is called passive transport. In active transport, however, the food is drawn into the cell and it is digested inside the cell. Active transport can require only a single molecule of liquid, whereas passive requires a great deal more.
Cell membranes are semi-permeable and allows small substances to go in but what if the cell needs the large substances and does not want the smaller substances?
The cell would dispose of the smaller substance later. There are generally two types of mechanisms that allow a cell to move substances across the cell membrane. One is called active transport and the other is passive transport. In passive transport the cell membrane is semipermeable and allows substances of smaller sizes to enter or leave the cell by diffusion, filtration, or osmosis. In active transport the cell membrane uses energy in the form of ATP molecule to move either atoms, molecules, or even larger things like parts of other cells, bacteria, or virus across the membrane. With the larger particles, the cell wall actually engulfs the object, surrounds it, and then collapses onto it so it is inside the cell. Then organelles called lysosomes, eat away at the foreign particle until it breaks down and gets digested inside the cell. These processes are called phagocytosis (for solids) and pinocytosis (for liquids).

What are three major functions of the bacterial cell membrane?
Keep good stuff in, keep bad stuff out, and allow some exchange between the two sides in case the cell needs to let stuff in or out! Also, the cell wall exists to maintain structural integrity.
Which type of transport requires energy to move sodium ions from a low concentration across the intestinal wall into a higher concentration?
Active transport.
Whenever sodium ions are reabsorbed through the wall of the renal tubule be active transport chloride ions are?
reabsorbed by active transport
How does active transport occur?
Active transport requires two main tools. The first one is a protein that captures the particle from one side - of a cell wall for example - into the other side. and the second thing is energy mostly in the type of ATP. so the protein does the job of moving the particle across the membrane by using energy and that is how active transport is different from passive transport. In passive transport the particles simple diffuse from one side of the membrane into the other because of the difference in the substance's concintration between the two sides.
What can large particle can enter a cell by an active-transport process?
The cell Wall
Where does cellular transport take place?
In/near the cell membrane.
Give two differences between active transport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy, passive transport just happens. If there is more of a certain molecule on one side of a membrane than the other, molecules that CAN fit through the membrane will do, so the concentration will even itself out. No work has to be done to achieve this. SO when you breathe in, oxygen just diffuses across from the air into your blood, because there's plenty of it in the air. But if a plant needs to get say magnesium from the soil (which it needs to make chlorophyll) then it is not going to get much by diffusion, because there's not much in the soil and probably more in the plant. It will need to use active transport ie a protein in the cell wall will pick up the substance wanted and flip it into the cell, and this costs the cell some energy.
