Active transport is the mechanism by which particles are moved from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration in a cell. This process requires energy to pump the particles across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.

What's it called when cell materials move from a low consentration to a low consentration?

If you mean high to low concentration then the answer is passive transport, BUT if you mean low to high, then it's active transport


How are osmosis differs from diffusion?

it differs with low consentration and high concentraction


When particles are moves through a membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration?

Diffusion


What is low porosity and high porosity?

big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity


Which type of transportation is used to move a molecule from a region of low consentration to a region og high consentration?

Active transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration. This process requires the cell to expend energy in the form of ATP to move the molecule against its concentration gradient.


What concentration gradient moves when a low concentration moves from an area of a higher concentration?

The low concentration moves down its concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process is driven by diffusion, where particles move spontaneously from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.


Does wind move from high to low or low to high pressure?

Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. Air always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize pressure differences.


What process that alows movement of gases and ions from areas of high consentration to low consentration?

Diffusion is the process that allows movement of gases and ions from areas of high concentration to low concentration. This process occurs passively, driven by the concentration gradient, and does not require energy input from the cell.


How do particles move from an area of high to an area of low concentration?

In cells, diffusion moves by facilitated diffusion, active transport, ABC transporters, group translocation or osmosis. Some of these move molecules from a low concentration to a higher and against the gradient.Simple diffusion moves molecules from a high concentration to a lower concentration.


How air moves differently in low- and high-pressure system?

a high pressure system moves clockwise, while a low one moves counter clockwise. high pressure systems move down and out, and low pressure systems move in and up.

How does wind erosion occur?

"How" because wind is in a high pressure area looking for a low pressure area so that is how the wind moves. When it moves it is always picking up "trash"(small particles of sand and dirt).
