Yes, active transport is essentially the opposite of diffusion. While diffusion is a passive process that allows substances to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration without the need for energy, active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. This energy is typically provided by ATP.
What else can I help you with?
Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
What process is the is the opposite of active transport?
exocytosis which is when cells absorb materials from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
How is the active transport different from diffusion?
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
Active transport counters the process of diffusion?
Yes, active transport is a process in which cells use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport allows cells to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, which is opposite to the direction of diffusion.
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
What is the main way that active transport differs diffusion?
ATP is required for active transport.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
