The active transport is carried out with the help of carrier proteins and in several cases these carriers behave like enzymes. The action of such enzymes is a bit different as the solute is transported unchanged to the other side of the membrane.

Active transport


What are two differences between active transport and passive transport in terms of energy?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.


Does active transport require a transport protein?

Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.


What ways can cells move things by active transport?

. One method is that transport proteins in the cell membrane "pick up" molecules from outside the cell and carry them in, while using energy in the process. A second method is that the cell membrane surrounds a particle and takes it in.

What are the three ways that things move in and out of the cell?

Things can move in and out of a cell through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Passive diffusion involves movement down a concentration gradient without the need for energy input, while facilitated diffusion involves the use of transport proteins. Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
