Active transport (or active uptake, as we learnt it ) is moving against the concentration gradient. This requires energy which is why the oxygen is needed (the oxygen producing energy through respiration). It is affected by the concentration of oxygen because the more oxygen, the more energy produced, the faster the process occurs. Diffusion is not affected by the concentration of oxygen because it does not require energy to occur.

if there is no oxygen then there is no energy and as we know that the active transport needs energy to be able to transport the substances to the cell,

therefore, no oxygen= no active transport!

hope it helps:)

no, but it requires energy. passive transport doesnt require energy.

Temperature always changes the rate of any reaction. An increase in temperature will increase the rate while decrease will slow a reaction.

What transport leave the cell without the use of energy?

Passive Transport, and if your dealing with liquids its is Osmosis. Passive Transport is the act of transport with no use of energy: hence the word "Passive." But Active Transport is when it does use energy: hence the word "Active."

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.
