The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.

How are active transport and passive transport different from each other?

Active transport requires energy input to move substances across a membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy as it moves substances along their concentration gradient. Active transport is selective and requires specific transport proteins, while passive transport occurs through simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion.

What is the difference between active and passive 3D TVs and which one is Cinema 3D TV?

The main difference between active and passive 3D TVs is that active 3D TVs use shutter system and passive 3D TVs don't. Shutter system inserts a black frame after each image frame and the result is when your right eye is seeing an image, your left eye sees a black frame. Each side of the glasses take turn to project the image and the black frame i.e. the glasses. This causes flickering images and crosstalks. Passive 3D TVs, however, let your eyes see the 3D images as you naturally see other things. There are no black frames after each image frame. This allows the passive 3D TVs to be flicker free and crosstalk free. Cinema 3D TVs are passive 3D TVs. Passive TVs project images with more vibrant colors and of higher quality.


What happens to voltages and currents when there are passive elements connected in series and in parallel?

Ring topology is active or passive?

Oh, dude, ring topology is technically passive because the data travels in one direction around the network, relying on each device to pass it along like a hot potato. So, it's like a chill relay race where everyone just hands off the baton without adding any extra energy. So, yeah, it's passive, but don't worry, it's not like the network is taking a nap or anything.

What is the difference between active and passive knowledge of language?

Your understanding of a language can be devided into active and passive vocabulary. The active vocabulary consists of all the words you are able to use when writing or speaking. The passive vocabulary consists of all the words you are able to understand when you read or hear them. A language consists of many words that are seldomly used or complex. These will often belong to the passive vocabulary of many users. The more you practice any particular language, the bigger each group will grow, until a time when most words are passive knowledge. Then, with further praktice, the active vocabulary wil expand.
