Yes, when channels are specific for the structures of individual molecules it is active transport. Active transport cannot occur if the energy they are moving is not of the same type, like glucose cannot move calcium.

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport mean?

Passive transport is a form of transport that does not require an input of energy. Examples include diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion. On the other hand, active transport is a form of transport that requires an input of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is required for processes such as moving molecules against the concentration gradient.


Does sodium move by active transport?

Sodium ions are thought to get into a cell by diffusion through special spores in the membrane and are expelled by a form of active transport .


What form transport is facilitated diffusion?

Passive Transport


what two methods of transport require a transport protein?

Two methods of transport that require a transport protein are facilitated diffusion and active transport. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane through specific transport proteins, down their concentration gradient without the use of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, uses transport proteins to move substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP.


What is the differece between passive and active transport?

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expanded by the cell. ACTIVE TRANSPORT REQUIRES ENERGY. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. PASSIVE TRANSPORT REQUIRES NO ENERGY.

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.


Is diffusion a form active transport?

False!


Is diffusion a form of active transport?

No, diffusion is not a form of active transport. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules or ions move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy expenditure to move molecules or ions against their concentration gradient.

Is osmosis form of active transport or passive transport?

It is a type of passive diffusion, as the water travels along a concentration gradiant. As opposed to active transport, where the substances can pass against a concentration gradiant.


A form of passive transport that uses transport proteins-?

Diffusion (passive transport) needs no energy to take place, and therefore no need for transport or carrier protiens. Active transport uses carrier protiens, as the cell needs to work against a concentration gradient. This requires energy. Diffusion can take place outside of cells Active transport can't take place outside of cells.


How do facilitaed diffusion and active transport differ?

Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of a specific protein carrier, while active transport uses energy in the form of ATP to transport molecules against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy input, whereas active transport does.


How is facilitated diffusion similar to active transport in terms of their mechanisms of moving substances across the cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are similar in that they both involve the movement of substances across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins. However, facilitated diffusion does not require energy, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.

How are diffusion and active transport different?

There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another. Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not. There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient.
