What else can I help you with?
Is potassium an active or passive transport?
It depends. Are you talking about Na/K pumps or Na/K co transporters? Pumps are active.
Give an example of active transport?
Hydrogen (H+) pumps.
What type of transport requires ATP to move molecules?
Muscle contraction , transport , nerve impulse conduction .
Is lon pumps an example of passive transport?
No, it is an example of active transport. Ion pumps, such as a sodium or potassium pump, use ATP for energy and pump ions across a membrane. The pumps are necessary because the ions are going against the concentration gradient (Low concentration to high concentration. Therefore, ion pumps are an example of active transport
The different between passive transport and active transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
What types of transport require ATP?
The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!
Is vesicular transport active or passive?
The contractile vacuole collects water, then pumps it out of the cell. It requires energy to be expended, so it is a type of active transport.
Which type of transport could not occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of protein?
Active transport would not be able to occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of proteins. Active transport relies on specific proteins, such as pumps and carriers, to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Without these proteins, the cell would not be able to perform active transport.
Which type of membrane transport process uses ATP as a source of energy?
Active transport processes use ATP as a source of energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. This process requires specific transport proteins, such as ion pumps, to actively transport molecules across the membrane.
What are membrane structures that function in active transport?
Protein pumps, such as the sodium-potassium pump and the proton pump, are membrane structures that function in active transport by moving ions against their concentration gradients across the cell membrane. These pumps require energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport substances.
How can active transport differ from passive transport?
Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without requiring energy, such as diffusion and osmosis. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, typically using protein pumps or transporters.
