Active transport requires energy and proteins to move the materials across the cell membrane. This is in contrast to osmosis, which doesn't require energy to move the material.

Does facilitated diffusion require a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane?

Yes, facilitated diffusion requires a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.


What is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane?

Active transport is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane. This process involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input from the cell.


The movement of substances across the cell membrane that requires the cell to use energy?

It's called active transport. When talking about the cell, it is usually bigger substances that use passages in the cell membrane to access the inner part of the cell, and they need energy to get there. The opposite; passive transport or diffusion, is the movement of dissolved materials through a cell membrane without the use of cellular energy. THis happens with smaller substances.


What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move materials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient that does not use ATP?

Active Transport


Facilitated diffusion across a biological membrane requires what?

Facilitated diffusion across a biological membrane requires the presence of specific protein channels or carriers to assist in the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The process does not require energy input from the cell and relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of molecules.

What motion of particles across a membrane requires energy?

Movement across a membrane that does require energy is called active transport.


How is passive transport from active transport?

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.

What are ways materials can move in and out of cells?

Most movement of materials is categorized as diffusion, meaning that materials move from areas of high concentration (i.e., a crowded room) to low concentration (an adjoining, empty room).Some materials move in the opposite pattern, called active transport. This requires ATP (energy).Finally, the movement of water across a cell membrane is called osmosis.Keep in mind, the cell membrane controls the movement of all substances. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only allows certain things in and out.


A type of passive transport across a cell membrane that requires special carriers is?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport that requires special carrier proteins to help molecules move across the cell membrane. These carrier proteins assist in the movement of specific molecules that cannot cross the membrane on their own.


How does the movement of materials across the cell membrane relate to an organisms survival?

If your cells can't get a steady stream of glucose, the cell will die.
