What is the type of transport in which a cell goes against the concentration gradient in order to diffuse substances within?

Active transport is used to move molecules and ions across a membrane against their concentration gradient. "Active" means that the transporter requires energy to do its job (eg. glucose).

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.
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.
How is the concentration gradient of a substance important to diffusion?
In diffusion, substances flow with a concentration gradient, meaning that they flow from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. Flowing against a concentration gradient would be going from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration, but this only occurs in active transport.
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
Which cell process will remove substances against a concentration gradient?
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 the purpose of active transport?
Active transport expends energy to move substances against a concentration gradient.
How does difference in concentration relate to movement of substances across the membrane?
the concentration gradient will help to bring stuff into the cell and to move stuff out. Osmosis likes to move with the concentration gradient. Moving with a concentration gradient is passive transport and moving against it is active 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.
What is a major difference between facilitate diffusion and active transport?
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
How does active transport help the body?
active transport helps the body because it is the movement of substances against the concentration gradient.
For what purpose does active transport use energy?
Active transport uses energy to move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient.
What is the movement of a substance against the substances concentration gradient?
Active transport, or reverse osmosis; depending upon conditions.
Are substances able to travel against their concentration gradient?
Yes, but only with an expenditure of energy which characterizes active transport.
During active transport substances move from regions of what?
in active transport, where do molecules always go
