Is osmosis active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Can you write a sentence using the word an passive transport?
it depends most of the time YES
What energy is required for passive transport?
By definition, passive transport on a cellular level requires no energy other than some sort of gradient, whether of the molecule in question, or another whose movement across the membrane can be linked to the one of interest.
Distinguish between active and passive transport?
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Can passive transport reach equilibrium?
Yes
Why is the term 'equilibrium' used with passive but not active transport?
I think because passive transport doesn't require energy and active does.
When does passive transport come to a stop?
When the two sides reach equilibrium.
What transport leave the cell without the use of energy?
Passive Transport, and if your dealing with liquids its is Osmosis. Passive Transport is the act of transport with no use of energy: hence the word "Passive." But Active Transport is when it does use energy: hence the word "Active."
What is an example of passive transport across a cell membrane?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport. It is specialized diffusion. It can occur through the membrane itself. Or through an aquaporin channel protein. Other forms of passive transport include: simple diffusion and facilitated (uses channel protein) diffusion.
A sentence for the word passive transport?
Passive transport refers to the movement of molecules across a cell membrane. An example of a sentence would be: "Passive transport does not require energy to work".
Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?
passive
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.
Is water an active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because of the diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is a example of?
Passive transport & follow me on Twitter at BruhMann_
What does the passive in passive transport mean?
Passive Transport is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Some examples are diffusion and osmosis. Basically, it's a movement of molecules across a membrane that doesn't require energy (ATP)
Is transport proteins a passive transport?
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
