In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
How do the roles of protein molecules in diffusion differ and active transport?
Proteins are involved in passive diffusion as channels or carriers that facilitate the movement of molecules across a membrane based on concentration gradients. In active transport, proteins use energy to actively transport molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring ATP to drive the process.
How do facilitated diffusion and active transport compare and contrast in terms of their mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane?
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are both ways that substances move across the cell membrane, but they differ in their mechanisms. Facilitated diffusion uses protein channels to help substances passively move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, while active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient using protein pumps.
All transport through the cell membrane can be classified as?
passive or active transport. Passive transport does not require energy input and includes processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Active transport requires energy input and includes processes like primary active transport and secondary active transport.
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
How can active transport differ from passive transport?
Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
What is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
Is diffusion through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
What is the main way that active transport differs diffusion?
ATP is required for active transport.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
How do facilitaed diffusion and active transport differ?
Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane with the help of a specific protein carrier, while active transport uses energy in the form of ATP to transport molecules against their concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion does not require energy input, whereas active transport does.
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
