The two principle methods of active transport are ATP-driven active transport (e.g. Na+ - K+ ATPase) and ion gradient-driven active transport, as in the Na+ - glucose symport.

Describe the two methods of active transport?

Active transport involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input. Two methods of active transport include primary active transport, where energy from ATP is directly used to move molecules, and secondary active transport, where the movement of one molecule down its gradient provides energy to transport another molecule against its gradient.


What are 2 types of active transport?

A) Active transport through special transport proteins in the plasma membrane. ATP causes these proteins to change shapes and move materials from low to high concentration. B) Bulk transport - moving large particles through the membrane by endocytosis or exocytosis.


What are 2 situations which active transport would be required?

well if the active transport was not used it would have to use the passive transport. the meaning of not using the active transport because if you use the active transport in one case it would burst


What are three ways molecules can cross the cell membrane?

Molecules can cross the cell membrane through simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion via transporter proteins, and active transport using energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.


Identify cellular process that need energy from ATP?

1. Nerve cells transmit impulses by using ATP to power the active transport of certain ions.2. Some organisms use ATP to move.3. Fireflies and many marine organisms,such as jellyfish,produce a light by a process called bioluminescence. The light results from a chemical reaction that is powered by the breakdown of ATP.

Is active transport vital to living organisms?

Yes it is. There are many examples of active transport in living organisms.1. Plant roots absorb minerals from the soil water surrounding them by active transport.2. In the Human body, the glucose formed during digestion passes from the small intestine into the blood stream by active transport.


Difference between osmosis and active transport?

The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.

What are the 3 methods of the cell membrane process?

If you're asking three ways particles cross the cell membrane it's through: (1) Simple diffusion,(2) Facilitated diffusion,(3) Active transport.


What 2 transport processes use carrier proteins?

Two transport processes that use carrier proteins are facilitated diffusion and active transport. In facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins help move molecules across the cell membrane down their concentration gradient, while in active transport, carrier proteins help move molecules against their concentration gradient by using energy.
