What regulates the rate of passive transport?
the concentration gradient and the membrane
What movement of the substances through a cell membrane against a concentration gradient requires energy?
no because it is a form of passive transport. only active transport requires energy. facilitated diffusion just means that it cant be just absorbed through the membrane, it must go through specific chanels or be helped by transport proteins. but because facilitated diffusion moves from higher to lower concentrations, it requires no energy.
Term for the movement of substance against a concentration gradient?
active transport eduction. this is the process in which this moves across. peanut butter jelly time
What is active transport and passive transport?
active transport requires the use of energy aka ATP and is usually against the concentration gradient. passive transport does not require energy because it moves in response to the concentration gradient.
What is the transport of materials against a concentration gradient called?
The process of moving materials against a concentration gradient is called active transport. Active transport generally uses a protein pump to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration; in order to perform an active transport, the cell must use some of its energy to initiate the reaction.
What regulates the rate of passive transport?
the concentration gradient and the membrane
When there are different amounts of a substance on either side of the cell membrane an gradient results?
osmosis

What facilitated passive transport across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient
What facilities passive transport across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient.
What term describes the difference in the concentration of a substance across a cell membrane?
concentration gradient
What term describes the different in the concentration of a substance across a cell's membrane?
concentration gradient

active transport requires the use of energy aka ATP and is usually against the concentration gradient. passive transport does not require energy because it moves in response to the concentration gradient.
When there are different amounts of a substance on either side of the cell membrane is a what gradient results?
When there are different amounts of a substance on either side of the cell membrane the gradient result is called the concentration gradient. The permeability of the cell membrane will determine which substances can easily pass through the cell causing a change to the concentration gradient.

Active transport generally uses a protein pump to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration; in order to perform an active transport, the cell must use some of its energy to initiate the reaction.
How does difference in concentration relate to movement of substances across the membrane?
the concentration gradient will help to bring stuff into the cell and to move stuff out. Osmosis likes to move with the concentration gradient. Moving with a concentration gradient is passive transport and moving against it is active transport
