What else can I help you with?
What is the pasive transpart of water through a membrane called?
The passive transport of water through a biological membrane is called osmosis.
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 name of the membrane that allows the movement of water and substances to move through the process of active transport and passive transport?
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is responsible for regulating the movement of water and substances through processes like active transport and passive transport. It acts as a selectively permeable barrier, allowing certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.
What is the type of passive transport that occurs when water diffused through a cell membrane?
osmosis
Is transport through aquaporin passive or active?
Transport through aquaporins is passive, as water molecules move across the cell membrane through these channels driven by osmotic gradients without the need for energy expenditure.
How carbon dioxide water and sodium ions are transported across the cell membrane by both passive and active transport?
Carbon dioxide can diffuse passively through the cell membrane due to its small size and nonpolar nature. Water molecules can pass through the membrane via osmosis, a type of passive transport. Sodium ions are transported against their concentration gradient through active transport processes such as sodium-potassium pumps that require ATP for energy.
Is water an active or passive transport?
Water can use both passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport involves movement of water molecules across a membrane without the need for energy, while active transport involves the use of energy to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. It involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration without the use of energy.
Can water enter a cell by active transport?
There are two ways that the molecules (i.e: water) move through the membrane: passive transport and active transport. Active transport requires that the cell use energy that it has obtained from food to move the molecules (or larger particles) through the cell membrane. Passive transport does not require such an energy expenditure, and occurs spontaneously.
How is water transported across the membrane?
Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
The movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?
Passive transport using osmosis and diffusion. Osmosis only applies to the movement of water down a concentration gradient across a selectively permeable membrane. DOH!!!
A type of transport in which water moves across a membrane and down its concentration gradient is?
osmosis. It is a passive transport mechanism where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane, such as the cell membrane.
