Active transport requires energy as it moves against a concentration gradient. It actively propels molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

Active transport is the movement of substances up the concentration gradient, using energy from respiration.

No, that's diffusion. Active transport goes from a low concentration to a high concentration (against the concentration gradient). Also, it requires energy, which many times comes from ATP.

Active transport requires energy from the cell (ATP) and pushes materials from an area where there is less of them to where there is more of them.

Active transport simply means the transport of substances against the concentration gradient.In this transport,ATP is utilised.

How can a cell transport a substance from lower to higher concentration?

active transport


How does facilitate transport differ from active transport?

Facilitated transport occurs when a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower without the aid of energy. Active transport involves additional energy as it is moving from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.


What is the movement of substance from a region of lower concentration to a region higher concentration?

Active transport


What is the relationship between osmosis and active transplant?

I think you mean "Active Transport" The main differences between the two is that osmosis does not use energy and active transport does. Also osmosis moves from a higher concentration of solution to a lower concentration, whereas active transport can be used to go from a lower concentration of solution to a higher concentration.


How are facilitated diffusion and active transport different?

Because facilitated diffusion moves moolecules from regions of higher concentration toward lower concentration, active transport moves particles through membranes from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration


Which type of transport require energy?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP


Explain the difference between passive transport and active transport Give several types of each and explain how they work?

when molecule travels from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a concentration gradient.It is known as passive transport. Active transport refers to when molecule travels from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against the concentration gradiet. Transport of protein is an active transport. Fit it in the sentence your way


Energy is used to move particles from a place of lower to higher concentration?

active transport


Movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration with energy is called?

Active Transport.


What is difference between active transport and passive transport?

One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion


What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?

Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport


Moving particles from a place of lower to higher concentration using energy is what process?

The answer is active transports because it goes from high to low concentration h ope this helps.
