What else can I help you with?
How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?
Well, I suppose that since mitochondria are the the main production centers of ATP and Active Transport requires ATP, that these two are directly proportional. The more mitochondria a cell has, the more ATP it can make, and the more it can do Active Transport
Which type of transport could not occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of protein?
Active transport would not be able to occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of proteins. Active transport relies on specific proteins, such as pumps and carriers, to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Without these proteins, the cell would not be able to perform active transport.
What means of particle transport requires input of energy in a cell?
Active transport is a means of particle transport that requires the input of energy in a cell. This transport mechanism moves substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requiring energy to drive the process.
How are minerals transported by plants?
Plants absorb minerals from the soil through their roots using active transport processes. These minerals are then transported through the plant's vascular system, primarily through the xylem, to the different parts of the plant where they are needed for various physiological processes. In some cases, minerals can also be transported through the phloem system for redistribution to other parts of the plant.
What adaptation would increase the efficiency of active transport of carbohydrates from a plant cell?
Increasing the number of carrier proteins involved in active transport or increasing the surface area of the plasma membrane would enhance the efficiency of active transport of carbohydrates from a plant cell. Additionally, regulating the activity of enzymes involved in active transport could also improve the efficiency.
If the substance entering the cell was in higher concentration inside the cell then outside the cell what type of transport would be required?
It would be active transport, a process which requires a cell to use its own energy (unlike passive transport).

Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
Intestinal cells absorb glucose via active transport so would the glucose absorption decrease if all the mitochondria within these intestinal cells were destroyed?
Yes, glucose absorption would likely decrease if all the mitochondria within the intestinal cells were destroyed. Mitochondria are essential for generating the energy (ATP) needed for active transport processes. Without mitochondria, the cells would lack the energy required for effective glucose absorption through active transport.
What means of particle transport requires input of energy in a cell?
Active transport is a means of particle transport that requires the input of energy in a cell. This transport mechanism moves substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requiring energy to drive the process.
What is the active transport and passive transport?
The requirements of passive transport through the cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer) of an animal cell are that the molecule is non-polar or small enough to pass by the non-polar phospholipid tails. This is because, for there to be passive transport, no energy must be used to transport the molecule from outside of the cell to inside.
When would active transport be used by a cell?
Active transport is used when molecules are moved across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, from a low to a high concentration.
Which type of cell transport does not expend energy?
Active transport is when the cell moves particles from an area of low concentration on one side of the cell membrane, to an area of high conc. on the other side, by means of a protein embedded in the membrane.

Additionally, regulating the activity of enzymes involved in active transport could also improve the efficiency.
How is the active transport different from diffusion?
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
