Both facilitated transport and active transport require the substance that passes the membrane to pass through intermembrane proteins. However, unlike active transport, facilitated transport does not require ATP because it is not actively going against the concentration gradient.

What type of transport requires energy to move molecules from an area with low concentration to an area of high concentration?

Active transport is needed to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration against their concentration gradient. ATP is used as the power source.


How is faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?

Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.


What type of transport is faciliated diffusion?

Neither of these require energy. Diffusion occurs naturally when a higher concentration of a substance exists on one side of a membrane than the other; molecules will enter into the area of lesser concentration until there is an equilibrium on both sides. Active transport requires the energy of the cell.


What is one example of a substance using faciliated transport?

fatty acids membranes


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 is a form of active transport that is similar to the work of carrier proteins?

mitochondria


What is a good sentence for Active Transport?

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


What requires energy diffusion fcilitated diffusion osmosis active transport?

Active transport requires energy, typically in the form of ATP, to move molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion, while it still uses membrane proteins to transport molecules, does not require energy as it follows the concentration gradient. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, also not requiring energy.


Is testosterone a passive transport or an active transport?

Is an active transport active or passive?

It has is in the name. Active Transport


What is it called when molecules uses energy to move across a semipermeable membrane?

Active transport


How is reverse osmosis similar to active transport?

Reverse osmosis is a form of active transport where water molecules are pushed through a semipermeable membrane against their concentration gradient, similar to how active transport uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Both processes require an input of energy to move molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.
