Active transport is important for cell function as, various activities keep taking place such as manufacture of protein, fat, etc. For all these activities raw materials are needed which need to be transported to the various cell organelles. Also, the waste products too need to be transported out of the cell body.

What is the function of rough er in a animal cell?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum play a role in the synthesis and packaging of proteins, which get used in and out of the cell.
What role does a cellular membrane play in active transport?
Active transport is the name given to the process of using energy to move substances into cells against what would happen without the expending of energy. Think of an island you want to visit. It is too far away to have a bridge so t is required to expend more energy than usual to get there--either by boat or plane, for example. Osmosis or diffusion account for movement of substance within another substance or across a membrane. It could be argued that there is energy involved in these movements, but no ATP is used. Active transport requires either ATP or electrochemical potential for movement. Sometimes, active transport moves substances against a concentration gradient. In the case of roots, the concentration of "fertilizer" or ions in the soil may be far less than in the tissues of the roots, yet active transport allows more ions to enter the roots. This is the method of obtaining glucose, for example, from your intestinal contents in the cells of the intestine. Active transport is like a ferry, but you have to pay the ferryman to gain passage.
Transport proteins play a role in both?
transport proteins play a role in both
What is a buffers function in regards to normal cell formation.?
Buffers do play a very important part in cell function. With out buffers cells could die. This is why buffers are put in affect. A buffer is a compound used to release H or accept it to change the cells H concentration.
What is the name of the structures whose movements are studied in mitosis and meiosis?
Micro-tubules play active role in chromosome movement during cell division.

What is the role of the electrons in the ETC?
Active transport is moving substance against its gradient so it requires an input of energy to achieve this. One example is Na K ATPase. This is a secondary active transporter that pumps 3x Na out of the cell for 2x K into the cell. There are so much more Na outside the cell and already a lot of K inside the cell so to push the molecules there is an expenditure of ATP to do this.
What roll does cellular energy play in active transport?
radation
What roe does the cellular membrane play in active transport?
awesome stuff
What role does active transport play in diffusion?
active transport is kind of like diffusion, but unlike diffusion, it requires ATP(energy) and the molecule moves from low concentration to high concentration
Can you explain the structure and function of semipermeable membrane and phosolipid bilayer?
A cell membrane is composed of a double layer of phospholipids, more commonly referred to as a phospholipid bilayer, and each phospholipid itself is important to the structure and function of the cell membrane. The head of a phospholipid is hydrophilic, attracting water, the two tails are hydrophobic not attracted to water. This means that water can pass through the cell well by passive transport, as the hydrophilic heads draw the water towards them and the hydrophobic tails push the water through the membrane to the other side. The tails of the phospholipid also play an important function, as the chinks in the tail allow the membrane to be fluid and allow substances to pass through (if they do not require active transport).
