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.


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.


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).


The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called what?

The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.


Which kind of cell transport needs energy?

Active transport.

Is cell transport the smae thing as active transport and passive transport?

they are diffrent, cell transportaion is the transportaion of materials in or out of a cell active transport is the movement of a molicule form an area of low conentration to an area of high and vice versa for passive transport


What is active transport across the cell?

Active transport simply means the transport of substances against the concentration gradient.In this transport,ATP is utilised.
