Movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration with energy is called?
Active Transport.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
What do active transport and osmosis have in common?
They are both the movement of particles but active transport uses energy, so it can move against the concentration gradient.
What is the diffusion of particles without the use of energy?
Osmosis is an example of movement of particles from an area without the need of additional energy. If a state is not in equilibrium particles can move from one area to another without additional energy.
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
Movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration with energy is called?
Active Transport.
In what ways do molecules move?
it moves by diffusion, osmosis and active transport
What is the Method of movement that requires the expenditure of ATP molecules is?
active transport
How is active transport diffrent from osmosis?
Active transport occurs when molecules are moved from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell membrane acts as a semi-permeable barrier during the process. Energy is required for active transport. Osmosis is a type of passive transport. Passive transport is similar to active transport except it requires no energy and molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis occurs only if the molecules moving across the cell membrane are WATER molecules.
How does active transport of glucose cause osmosis?
Osmosis is the transport of water across semi permeable plant membrane. When glucose molecules actively transport to the plant they lower the water potential of the plant and therefore water moves in to balance that. This is how active transport assists osmosis.
