Paracellular transport systems move substances across simple epithelia by passing between adjacent cells through tight junctions, while transcellular transport systems move substances across simple epithelia by passing through the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells.
Yes, passive transport moves substances with the concentration gradient.
Yes, active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
Yes, active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient.
No, passive transport does not move substances against the concentration gradient. It moves substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without requiring energy input.

Tight junctions are the type of functional complex that will prohibit paracellular transport. Tight junctions create a barrier between adjacent epithelial cells, preventing the leakage of molecules between cells and regulating the movement of substances across the epithelial layer.
Transport epithelia are specialized layers of cells that facilitate the movement of ions, fluids, and other substances across biological membranes. These epithelial cells are typically found in organs involved in absorption and secretion, such as the kidneys, intestines, and gills of fish. They often possess unique features like extensive surface area, specialized transport proteins, and tight junctions that regulate the selective passage of materials. This functionality is crucial for maintaining homeostasis in organisms by controlling the composition of body fluids and the excretion of waste.
This process is called transcellular transport. It involves the movement of substances across the apical and basolateral membranes of epithelial cells that line the tubular lumen, passing through the cell's cytosol before reaching the interstitial fluid.
Yes, passive transport moves substances with the concentration gradient.
Yes, active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
Yes, active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient.
The transport systems. They are called water carrying tubes and food carrying tubes. they transport the substances absorbed by the roots.
selective transport is the transport of specific substances by means of protein channels and pumps.
