Facilitated transport occurs when a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower without the aid of energy. Active transport involves additional energy as it is moving from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.

How do the roles of protein molecules in diffusion differ and active transport?

Proteins are involved in passive diffusion as channels or carriers that facilitate the movement of molecules across a membrane based on concentration gradients. In active transport, proteins use energy to actively transport molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring ATP to drive the process.


What is needed to to facilitate diffusion and active transport?

ATP is needed for these two transport mechanisms to occur.


Are carrier proteins active or passive transport?

Carrier proteins facilitate active transport by moving molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. They require energy in the form of ATP to transport substances across the membrane.


Does active transport require a transport protein?

Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.


In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?

Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.


What are the differ of active transport and passive transport?

In passive transport the solute is driven across the cell until both sides of the membrane are equal. In active transport, energy causes the transporter to release the solute to only one side of the membrane.


How can active transport differ from passive transport?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.


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

Mineral movement into plant roots is typically an active transport process. It requires energy to move minerals against their concentration gradient from the soil into the plant roots. Transport proteins such as pumps or carriers are involved in this process to facilitate the movement of minerals into the plant.
