I'm not sure you're understanding the question you are asking. Molecules are the tiny building blocks, made up of atoms, that are used to create everything in our galaxy. Cells are a single living unit that work together to be a living thing. If you are interested in how parts of a cell move around or pass along material, you should look up how cells work or ask a more specific question.

Does Passive transport uses ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient?

No, passive transport does not require ATP because it moves molecules along their concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. ATP is only required for active transport, which moves molecules against their concentration gradient.


What proteins are used in both active and passive transport?

Transport proteins such as ion channels and carrier proteins are used in both active and passive transport processes. Ion channels move ions down their concentration gradient through passive transport, while carrier proteins can facilitate passive transport by allowing molecules to move along their concentration gradient, or active transport by requiring energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.


How is active transport different from facilitated diffusion in terms of the energy requirement for moving molecules across a cell membrane?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient with the help of transport proteins.


How do molecules move along a concentration gradient?

Molecules move along a concentration gradient through a process called diffusion, where they naturally flow from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.

A kind of transport by which ions or molecules move along a concentration gradient, which meansmovement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

How can active transport differ from passive transport?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.

Does passive transport move along concentration gradient?

Yes, passive transport moves along the concentration gradient, meaning that substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the input of energy. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis.


How does facilitated transport differ from active transport?

Simple diffusion = flow of small molecules ALONG the concentration gradient, does NOT require energy. facilitated diffusion = flow of molecules ALONG the concentration gradient with help of CARRIER PROTIENS or CHANNELS, does NOT require energy active transport= flow of larger or charged molecules AGAINST their concentration gradient, REQUIRES input of ENERGY in the form of ATP.)


What are the differences between facilitated diffusion and active transport in terms of their mechanisms of transporting molecules across the cell membrane?

Facilitated diffusion is a passive process that uses carrier proteins to transport molecules across the cell membrane along their concentration gradient, while active transport is an energy-dependent process that uses ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient through protein pumps.


Does diffusion works by molecules moving along a concentration gradient from an area of hypertonic concentration to an area of hypotonic concentration?

yes


What is concentration gradient downhill or uphill?

when the solute passes from a higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration, it is known as concentration gradient downhill. and the reverse is true for uphill. also, down hill transport requires energy which is derived from ATP. uphill transport is not derived from ATP's rather from the random motion of the molecules themselves.
