active transport
An example of active transport occurs in human nerve cells. Here, sodium ions are constantly transported out of the cell into the external fluid bathing the cell, a region of high concentration of sodium. (This transport of sodium sets up the nerve cell for the impulse that will occur within it later.)
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
It takes place in your mouth, then it goes all the way into your intestines. After that it will go right into your pooper.
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells. Biochemical processes, such as respiration and energy production, occur in the mitochondria.
Transport Proteins
Active transport can occur against a diffusion gradient ("uphill flow).
active transport
In the cytoplasm (the goop in that fills cells outside of the organelles).
You'll have to be more specific. It can be either. The distinguishing feature is that active transport requires energy to occur, passive does not
yes, it can occur in various ways. (active transport, simple diffusion,etc.)
ATP is needed for these two transport mechanisms to occur.
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.
Yes, when channels are specific for the structures of individual molecules it is active transport. Active transport cannot occur if the energy they are moving is not of the same type, like glucose cannot move calcium.
Inner mitochondrial membrane
An example of active transport occurs in human nerve cells. Here, sodium ions are constantly transported out of the cell into the external fluid bathing the cell, a region of high concentration of sodium.
