In which type of process do substances move down their concentration gradient across the membrane?
Active transport is a process that removes substances from a cell against the concentration gradient. The molecules move from low concentration to high concentration during this process.
What process is used to move proteins against the concentrarion gradient?
this is called active transport, bc it uses energy and goes against the concentration gradient
Which way do molecules move during active transport?
hii friends?? hws life?? i think acitve transport moves molecules throught the speed of light and it needs blood and carbon dioxide to go through this process!!! Good luck people who need this answer bye!!! by: gabriel
What process drives molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient?
Active Transport.
What is water uptake at the roots?
water uptake at the roots is called osmosis,this is the movement of water molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against concentration gradient
What mechanism does cell use to move small potassium molecules into the cell against the concentration gradient?
active transport BY PROTEINS
What mechanism does a cell use to move the small potassium molecules into the cell against the concentration gradient?
active transport BY PROTEINS
What mechanism doe a cell use to move small potassium molecules into the cell against the concentration gradient?
active transport BY PROTEINS
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or faciliated diffusion?
It is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
What does it mean when you are going with the concentration gradient?
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
Does active transport result in an even distribution of molecules?
No. Active transport uses energy to transport specific molecules against a concentration gradient. Passive transport will result in an even distribution of molecules because they allow molecules to move down a concentration gradient.
What is the transport of materials against a concentration gradient called?
The process of moving materials against a concentration gradient is called active transport. Active transport generally uses a protein pump to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration; in order to perform an active transport, the cell must use some of its energy to initiate the reaction.
Does osmosis work with or against the concentration gradient?
against the gradient
Does active transport require transport proteins?
Yes, active transport requires carrier proteins in order to function. These require ATP to carry things in and out of the cell.
In which type of process do substances move down their concentration gradient across the membrane?
Active transport is a process that removes substances from a cell against the concentration gradient. The molecules move from low concentration to high concentration during this process.
How do transport proteins that are pumps differ from that are channels?
Transport proteins that are pumps differ from those that are channels in that when it pumps, it moves materials against concentration gradient. Other wise, from low to high concentration levels. Channels move materials down a concentration gradient, requiring no energy expenditure by the cell. From high concentration to low concentration levels.
What process is used to move proteins against the concentrarion gradient?
this is called active transport, bc it uses energy and goes against the concentration gradient
