Best Answer

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.

Active transport occurs by the energy used up by the cell into moving that #@#@ing cell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is mineral movement into plant root an active transport or passive transport?

You'll have to be more specific. It can be either. The distinguishing feature is that active transport requires energy to occur, passive does not


When reffering to molecular transport does movement occur across the cell membrane?

yes, it can occur in various ways. (active transport, simple diffusion,etc.)


What is needed to to facilitate diffusion and active transport?

ATP is needed for these two transport mechanisms to occur.


What is the defference between active transpors and passive transport?

The difference between active and passive transport, is that, active transport, requires energy input from the cell, in order to occur, unlike passive, which occurs, without any energy input.


Is channel-mediated diffusion a form of active transport?

Yes, when channels are specific for the structures of individual molecules it is active transport. Active transport cannot occur if the energy they are moving is not of the same type, like glucose cannot move calcium.


What is the difference between diffusion and active transport?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration


What is a good sentence for Active Transport?

Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.


Where does active transport occur in the excretory system?

It takes place in your mouth, then it goes all the way into your intestines. After that it will go right into your pooper.


How is active transportation different from passive transportation?

The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
