How is active transport different from possive transport?

Answer 1

Active transport need energy from outside to perform a function whereas in passive transport the function is performed on the principle of physics. for example active absorption of minerals by the plant roots require energy from respiration whereas passive absorption is achieved by law of diffusion.

Answer 2

Active transport requires the cell to expend energy in order to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, using specialized proteins like pumps. Passive transport, on the other hand, does not require energy and relies on the movement of molecules along their concentration gradient through channels or carrier proteins.

Answer 3

Active transport uses energy and passive transport doesn't.

Active transport requires the cell to use its own energy,while passive transport doesn't.

Active transport is the flow of substances from a lower concentration to a higher concentration gradient which uses energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) whereas Passive Transport in contrast, is the flow of substances from higher concentration to a lower concentration gradient without using energy and it continues until an equilibrium is reached.

Answer 4

Active transport uses energy (from ATP) to "rotate" the permease protein which transports molecules or ions.Passive transport doesn't need energy because it uses the difference between content of minerals(or H2O) inside and outside the cell to transport them from spaces with higher concentration to spaces with lower.

Answer 5

The major difference between them is the use of ATP which is required by active transport while passive transport does not need any energy (ATP). It means that active transport is the movement of any substance from lower to higher concentration, while passive transport is the movement from higher to lower concentration.

Answer 6

passive trasport is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without using cellular energy but active transport is the movement of materials through a cell membrane using cellular energy. active transport requires the cell to use its own energy while passive transport does not.

Answer 7

Active transport does so at the cost of the cell, passive transport does not.

Answer 8

Active transport requires energy usually from a molecule called ATP.

Passive transport require no energy.

Answer 9

Active transport consumes energy (in the form of ATPs or electrochemical gradients) and propels materials against a concentration gradient.

Answer 10

The difference between the two, is that on Active transport it uses energy (ATP). and Passive transport does not.
