Active Transport


What is used to move a substance through a membrane in active transport?

Electrochemical gradient is used to move substances through a membrane in active transport.


What is the name of the membrane that allows the movement of water and substances to move through the process of active transport and passive transport?

The name of the membrane that allows movement of water and substances through the process of active and passive transport is semipermeable membrane.


Which processes are active transport of substances in and out of the cell?

cell membrane


Does active transport get substances across a cell membrane?

Transport proteins


Is active transport the only way substances can cross the intestinal membranes?

Diffusion too.


What is the movement of materials across a membrane that requires energy input called?

Active transport requires energy and proteins to move the materials across the cell membrane. This is in contrast to osmosis, which doesn't require energy to move the material.


What functions do carrier proteins perform in active transport?

Carrier proteins of the cell membrane transport substances down their concentration gradient out of or into the cell by facilitated diffusion and active transport.


What occurs if substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane by active or passive transport?

passive transport


The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?

It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.


In active transport carrier proteins do what?

They help transfer substances from the outside of the cell membrane to the inside.


When do cells do active transport?

When transporting substances from low to high concentration, or when transporting substances too large to pass through the membrane without assistance from a transport protein.
