Active Transport


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

active transport


What types of transport require ATP?

The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!


What is significance of active transport of the survival of a cell?

Active transport requires the expenditure of energy by the cells. It is an uphill movement of a substance through a living cell membrane. Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is a chemical substance that gives the energy required for the active transport process. ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy from nutrients and is capable of releasing that energy to do work in the cell. There is a breakdown of APT and a use of energy that makes this process possible. Cellular energy is required to move substances from a low concentration to a high concentration. Because the formation and breakdown of ATP requires complex cellular activity, active transport mechanisms can take place only through living membranes.

How is active transport different then then other types of cell transport?

active transport requires input of energy as it takes place aginst a gradient.

Transport across cell membranes that requires energy or ATP?

Active Transport


If the substance entering the cell was in higher concentration inside the cell then outside the cell what type of transport would be required?

It would be active transport, a process which requires a cell to use its own energy (unlike passive transport).


Which kind of cell transport needs energy?

Active transport.
