What type of transport is against concentration gradients and requires energy?

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.

An example of this is the Sodium-Potassium pump.

The energy required to make active transport work is in the form of ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate), which is synthesized by the catabolic process of cellular respiration.

Does active transport move from higher to lower concentration?
Active Transport- When molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentrationPassive Transport- When molecules move from an area of higher concentration ot an area of higher concentration (also called diffusion)
Is osmosis and lysosomes required for active transport?
No. Active transport requires the use of Energy (powered by ATP) to move solutes against their concentration gradients - the carrier proteins in the cell's (plasma) membrane picks up what needs to come in (solute or solvent), rather than letting it "flow" into the cell. Osmosis is a type of passive transport -- it requires no energy and only lets solvents (water) pass through.
What type of transport requires energy to move molecules from an area with low concentration to an area of high concentration?
Active transport is needed to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration against their concentration gradient. ATP is used as the power source.
What is the function of active transport in moving small molecules and ions across cell membranes?
the movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.
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.
Why would a cell need active transport?
To transport protein to specific areas of the cell, e.g. the synaptic terminal of a neuron's axon; and to transport ions & chemicals against their concentration gradients
What is the pumping of materials across a membrane against their concentration gradients?
Active Transport
Which process uses proteins to move molecules against a concentration gradients?
active transport
Why are ATPases associated with active transport proteins?
They provide transport proteins with the energy needed to pump molecules against their concentration gradients.
What energy from the hydrolysis of ATP is used to drive substances across the membrane against their own concentration gradients?
primary active transport
Does active transport move from higher to lower concentration?
Active Transport- When molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentrationPassive Transport- When molecules move from an area of higher concentration ot an area of higher concentration (also called diffusion)
What is the primary function of polysaccharides attached to the glycoproteins and glycolipids of animal cell?
to actively transport molecules against their concentration gradients.
How does diffusion from active transport?
Active transport expends energy, unlike osmosis and diffusion. Active transport is a way to move substances against concentration gradients in the cell membrane, so they need more energy to do so.
Why active transport requires energy?
Active transportation is taken place against concentration gradient. So this requires energy .
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.
How does active transport differ from diffusion?
Active transport expends energy, unlike osmosis and diffusion. Active transport is a way to move substances against concentration gradients in the cell membrane, so they need more energy to do so.
