Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.

∙ 11y agoActive transport is going from low concentration to high concentration. This uses energy, forcing molecules to go to high concentration
Passive transport is going from high to low concentration and doesnt use energy. Molecules just "pass through"

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 main difference between active trasport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
The type of transport that requires no cellular energy?
walking ,riding your bike,non electric scooter, skate board,
Why is diffusion any example of passive transport?
No, diffusion is passive transport.Active transport would be when there are actual proteins and structures involved in the transportation of molecules/chemicals/etc..A sure sign is that all of these (that I know of) require ATP.An example would be the Sodium-Potassium Pump located along one's neurons which actively pumps (aka. transports) sodium and potassium back and forth across the membrane to build up potential charge. This is how "signals" are sent down neurons and around the body.
How is active transport different from possive transport?
Active transport need energy from outside to perform a function whereas in passive transport the function is performed on the principle of physics. for example active absorption of minerals by the plant roots require energy from respiration whereas passive absorption is achieved by law of diffusion.
The difference between active transport and passive transport is?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
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.
How is passive transport from active transport?
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
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 defference between active transpors and passive transport?
The difference between active and passive transport, is that, active transport, requires energy input from the cell, in order to occur, unlike passive, which occurs, without any energy input.
How is active transportation different from passive transportation?
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
A transport process that does not require the expenditure of cellular energy is?
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
The cellular transport mechanism that depends upon blood pressure?
Passive transport is the cellular transport mechanism. This all depends on the blood pressure.
What are the definitions of cellular transport processes?
Two main categories are active and passive transport.
What is the cellular movement of a substance that does NOT require energy?
Passive transport
What are the 2 transporters of cellular energy?
The 2 transporters of cellular energy are passive and active transport.
What is the main difference between active trasport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
