passive transport
Active transport mechanisms, such as sodium-potassium pumps, proton pumps, and endocytosis/exocytosis, require energy expenditure by the cell in the form of ATP. These processes involve the movement of substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, which requires energy input.
The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.
This is a description of active transport.
Diffusion is per definition a passive transport process.
Facilitated diffusion does not require energy to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
Active transport mechanisms, such as sodium-potassium pumps, proton pumps, and endocytosis/exocytosis, require energy expenditure by the cell in the form of ATP. These processes involve the movement of substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, which requires energy input.
This type of transport is generally called passive transport.
The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
Active Transport
They require less energy as they do not do much work compared to teenagers. They should have less energy intake and less energy expenditure.
Cellular processes that require a greater expenditure of energy and utilize specific carrier molecules include active transport and endocytosis. Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient, using ATP and transport proteins like pumps. Endocytosis involves the engulfing of materials into the cell membrane, requiring energy to form vesicles. Both processes are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and nutrient uptake.
nothing, passive transport doesn't require energy
The process by which substances enter and exit the cell is called cellular transport. It primarily occurs through two main mechanisms: passive transport, which does not require energy, and active transport, which requires energy expenditure by the cell. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, while examples of active transport include endocytosis and exocytosis.
The process you are describing is "passive transport," which moves substances across a cell membrane without the need for energy input. This can occur through processes like diffusion and osmosis, driven by concentration gradients.
Plants use passive transport because it does not require energy expenditure. Passive transport mechanisms like diffusion and osmosis allow plants to move water, nutrients, and gases across their cell membranes based on concentration gradients. This is an efficient way for plants to absorb essential resources from their environment.
