What is the transport of materials against a concentration gradient called?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
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.

The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called what?
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.
The net flow of materials through the membrane of a cell against a concentration gradient is?
It's Active Transport.
What moves solutes against concentration gradient?
The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.
What is the process that requires cellular energy to move a substance against its concentration gradient?
Active transport uses energy to move substances against the concentration gradient.
What is a demonstration to show active transport?
Active transport is when cells must move materials in a direction against a concentration gradient. Proteins transporting molecules across cell membranes is an example. Active transport requires energy as opposed to passive transport
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called what?
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.
Which transport mechanisms moves materials across a plasma membrane against an apparent concentration gradient?
active transport
The net flow of materials through the membrane of a cell against a concentration gradient is?
It's Active Transport.
What is required when cells must move materials against a concentration gradient?
Active transport which requires ATP.
What moves solutes against concentration gradient?
The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.
How do transport proteins that are pumps differ from that are channels?
Transport proteins that are pumps differ from those that are channels in that when it pumps, it moves materials against concentration gradient. Other wise, from low to high concentration levels. Channels move materials down a concentration gradient, requiring no energy expenditure by the cell. From high concentration to low concentration levels.

What is a characteristic that diffusion and active transport have in common and both process?
Both involve the transport of materials across the cell membrane. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and requires ATP. Diffusion goes with the concentration gradient, or from high to low concentration, and does not require ATP. ATP is the standard unit of energy in cells.
What process is used to go against the concentration gradient?
active transport
What is the process that requires cellular energy to move a substance against its concentration gradient?
Active transport uses energy to move substances against the concentration gradient.
Moving particles from a place of lower to higher concentration using energy is what process?
The answer is active transports because it goes from high to low concentration h ope this helps.
Does active transport move with or against the gradient?
Against the gradient. It requires energy because it's going against the concentration of high to low.
