What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What regulates the rate of passive transport?
the concentration gradient and the membrane
What moves solutes against concentration gradient?
The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.
Does passive transport move along concentration gradient?
Yes. Transport that goes down a concentration gradient is spontaneous and therefore does not require energy.
Compare active transport to passive transport?
Active transport requires energy, whereas passive transport does not. Passive transport is normally something moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration (with the grain). Active transport is something moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration(against the grain).
Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?
Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.
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 transported in passive transport?
A kind of transport by which ions or molecules move along a concentration gradient, which meansmovement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
Is active or passive transport involved?
In active transport the ATP is used to pump molecules up the concentration gradient. Transport of molecules occurs from a low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute and requires cellular energy. While passive transport involves carriers, channels, or direct diffusion through a membrane.
What does the passive in passive transport mean?
Passive Transport is the movement of molecules down a concentration gradient from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Some examples are diffusion and osmosis. Basically, it's a movement of molecules across a membrane that doesn't require energy (ATP)
What regulates the rate of passive transport?
the concentration gradient and the membrane
What is true about passive transport?
The concentration gradient is the driving force.
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
What is the random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient called?
The random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.
What is the definition for diffusion?
Diffusion is one type of passive transport. In Diffusion, molecules move from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient. Diffustion does NOT need energy, or ATP.Q: What is the DEFINITION of DIFFUSION?A: Diffusion- a type of passive transport in cells in which molecules move from areas where there are more of them to areas there are fewer of them.ur wlcm (: SnazzyChazzy
