Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.

The carrier molecules used in active transport across cell membranes are carrier proteins. Each carrier protein is designed to recognize only one substance.

Polar molecules need to be moved in active transport, because hyrophobic part of the cell membrane makes it impossible for them to diffuse in or outside of the cell.

Active transport.


How do nutrients first enter a cell?

nutrient are broken down before entering the cell.small parts of nutrients are taken inside a cell be diffusion and passive transport. there is no energy usage this kind of transport. but there are some big molecules that can not enter cell membrane. so there are taken by active transport.(there is a energy usage in active transport).


How does endocytosis differ from active transport?

Active transport utilizes transport proteins within the cellular membrane. Endocytosis occurs through an envagination of the cellular membrane itself to form a vessicle. Active transport is for transporting small molecules in and out of the cell while endo and exocytosis are for transporting large molecules in and out of the cell.
