PASSIVE TRANSPORT: when there is a transport of solutes from there higher concentration to their lower concentration across the semipermeable membrane as plasma membrane without any utilization of energy is called passive transport. ACTIVE TRANSPORT: When there is a net flow of solutes from there low concentration to their high concentrain of flow against the concentration gradiant with the utilization of energy is called active transport. e.g. Na+- K+ exchange pump.

How is active transport different from passive transport, and what are two ways in which they contrast in terms of their mechanisms?

Active transport and passive transport are two methods by which substances move across cell membranes. Active transport requires energy input from the cell, usually in the form of ATP, to move molecules against their concentration gradient. In contrast, passive transport does not require energy and relies on the natural movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to low concentration. One way in which active and passive transport contrast in terms of their mechanisms is that active transport uses specific carrier proteins to transport molecules, while passive transport can occur through simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion. Another difference is that active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport typically only moves molecules in one direction.

What is protect in a passive voice?

The passive voice must have the verb 'to be' in the correct tense plus the past participle of the main verb. Here are some examples: I do (active)/it is done (passive) I did (active)/it was done (passive) I am doing (active)/it is being done (passive) I was doing (active)/it was being done (passive) and so on So to change protect into the passive would be I protect (active)/ It is protected (passive)
