Does passive transport require more energy than active transport?

Active energy requires more energy because it is pushing particles through the cell membrane across the concentration gradient. Passive energy follows the high to low principle. Basically, active energy is pushing against the natural high to low principle and needs energy in order to accomplish its task

Is it true that active transport differs from passive transport in that it does not require an input of energy?
Yes. Active transport requires energy but passive transport does not.
The different between passive transport and active transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
What type of energy does active transport require?
Yes, energy is needed for active transport, while energy is not needed to be inputted for passive forms of transport.
Does active transport requires energy?
Yes. it has to use energy to go throught the cell membrane
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while 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 it true that active transport differs from passive transport in that it does not require an input of energy?
Yes. Active transport requires energy but passive transport does not.
Why is the term 'equilibrium' used with passive but not active transport?
I think because passive transport doesn't require energy and active does.
The different between passive transport and active transport?
Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.
A transport process that does not require the expenditure of cellular energy is?
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
Is diffusion active transport?
No, it is passive transport because it does not require any of the cell's energy.
What type of energy does active transport require?
Yes, energy is needed for active transport, while energy is not needed to be inputted for passive forms of transport.
Does active transport requires energy?
Yes. it has to use energy to go throught the cell membrane
Do facilitated diffusion require energy?
No energy is needed because it's a part of passive transport, not active transport.
What is the main difference between active trasport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
How are active transport and passive transport different from each other?
The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.
What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
