What is the difference between diffusion and facilitate diffusion?
The difference between diffusion and facilitated diffusion is that facilitated diffusion is that the molecules pass through special protein channels.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What is the difference between dilution and diffusion?
what is the difference between a diffusion and a dilution
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport refer to cell membrane and its properties?
Diffusion requires no energy as it follows the electrochemical gradient. Active transport requires energy (ATP), as it works against the electrochemical gradient.
What is the difference between facilitated diffusion with the help of a carrier molecule with the help of a transport protein?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport (does not require energy). It is called facilitated diffusion because it utilises the carrier protein to diffuse through it. Active transport requires energy to pump certain big molecules to cross over and this uses transport protein. Basically, the difference is just the usage of energy.
What is the difference between active transport and osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane, and does not require the input of energy. Active transport requires energy input.
What is the difference between diffusion and active transport?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
What is the similarity between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
both need transport protein
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.
What are the difference between transport and communication?
what is difference between communication and transport
What is the difference between dilute and dilution?
what is the difference between a diffusion and a dilution
Why does an organism have to provide energy for active transport?
The ATP hos to be provided because Active transport works against diffusion. its like the difference between a ball rolling down a hill (Passive Transport) and then having to push it up the hill (Active transport).
