Active transport is similar to diffusion, in that it is the movement of molecules. However, whereas diffusion occurs passively and molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, active transport reverses this. Molecules are transported from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, and this requires energy in the form of ATP. Active transport accross a membrane takes place via specific transport proteins. ATP produced in respiration causes these proteins to change their 3D shape when a molecule binds with it, so that it is taken into the cell/transported from the cell against the concentration gradient. An analogy of a kissing gate can be used. So, for example, if the concentration of mineral salts inside a root hair cell is higher than that outside the cell in the soil, then diffusion cannot take place passively as the concentration gradient is not in the right direction. Mineral salts would not passively move from an area of low concentration (soil) into an area of high concentration (cell). In this case, active transport must be employed for the cell to absorb the ions in the soil. They bind to proteins on the cell membrane, which actively "carry" them into the cell using energy from respiration. In this way, the plant can absorb the mineral salts even though the passive diffusion gradient is the wrong way. Active transport can be defined as "the energy consuming transport of molecules or ions across a membrane against a concentration gradient, made possible by transferring energy from respiration."
This movement occurs through several mechanisms.
No.... The Active Transport Requires Energy >> Just Energy But Our Bodies Transport a lot Of Substances Using Active Transport Including Water , Metal Ions, etc .......
The 2 methods of active transport are taking the energy and using the energy to where the cell is doing the work,the cell will transport what is needed and all us done.
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.
Yes. Avtive transport refers to the transport of moleculae with the help of energy in the form of ATP molecules
This movement occurs through several mechanisms.
diffusion occurs naturally facilitated diffusion and active transport need energy

Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
Active transport is the process of molecules being moved across a membrane using energy. Passive transport moves the molecules without using energy.
By using ATP.
The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
Active transport Passive transport (diffusion and transport using protein channels) Receptor mediated transport
Passive transport never requires energy - hence the name passive. Active transport requires the input of energy. Two types of active transport are; primary (using pumps) and secondary (using anti or symports).

Active transport requires energy and moves particles against the concentration gradient. To move necessary molecules from an area of high concentration to an area that is lower using chemical energy is called primary active transport.
