Basic photosynthesis equation is Water + Carbon Dioxide --> Glucose + Oxygen
-Water is absorbed by the roots via osmosis (passive transport), moves through the xylem and is absorbed into cells where it is needed via osmosis again
-CO2 from the high concentration in the atmosphere to the low concentration in the plants cells through the stomata. It is always being used up to synthesis glucose so the lower concentration is maintained
-Glucose is usually converted into sucrose (a relatively large molecule) which then requires active transport to cross the plasma mebrane, and into the phloem tubes to a storage site
-I would imagine oxygen would diffuse out via the same channels that CO2 came in

What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
How do you explain passive transport down the concentration gradient?
Particles move from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
What type of transport does not require energy?
passive transport does not need energy. And two types of passive tansport are osmosis and diffusion
Explain the difference between passive transport and active transport Give several types of each and explain how they work?
when molecule travels from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a concentration gradient.It is known as passive transport. Active transport refers to when molecule travels from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against the concentration gradiet. Transport of protein is an active transport. Fit it in the sentence your way
What type of cell live longer unicellular or multicellular?
Explain Active and Passive transport.
Is transport proteins active transport or passive transport?
passive
Is water an active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because of the diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion is a example of?

Is transport proteins a passive transport?
Carrier proteins can be involved in passive transport.
What are passive and active transport?
Passive transport and active transport are transport of materials across membranes. Passive requires no energy, while active does.
Transport that does not use energy?
passive transport
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
What type of transport does not require energy?
passive transport does not need energy. And two types of passive tansport are osmosis and diffusion
