Which process is responsible for moving cellular wastes across the cell membrane?
The process for moving cellular wastes across the cell membrane is known as active transport. Active transport is a source of energy that allows molecules to move from low concentrations to high concentrations, and provides the needed boost to move the molecules uphill.
The source of energy for the process of photosynthesis?
Electrons are used as an exchange currency during photosynthesis. The energy that provides the boost for these electrons comes from the electron transport chain.
What is the name of the cellular process that releases energy from the algae so it can be used by the fish?
the electron transport chain is the main source of energy for eukaryotic cells
What energy is used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
What source of energy is used in active transport?
Energy for primary active transport comes from ATP molecules. ATP is produced by the mitochondria. e.g. Na+/K+ ATPases are archetypal primary active transporters and they transport 3 Na+ ions out of cells and 2 K+ ions into cells by hydrolyzing one molecule of ATP. Energy for secondary active transport is stored in an established concentration gradient of ions across the cell membrane and drives transport with the tendency of ions to move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. e.g. Na+/glucose secondary transporters use the Na+ gradient (higher outside cells than inside) established by Na+/K+ ATPases to transport a molecule of glucose along with a sodium ion into cells.

Is diffusiona type of passive transport or active transport?
Passive transport is where materials are transported across a membrane without the use of stored energy. Active transport is where materials are transported across a membrane using ATP, or another source of stored cellular energy. Diffusion is where solutes flow across a membrane in response to a concentration gradient, and requires no energy input to occur. Therefore, diffusion is a form of passive transport.
What is the source of the energy used in active transport?
The source of the energy used in active transport is the electrochemical gradient. Another possible source of energy for active transport is the breakdown of ATP molecules.

What is essential for diffusion?
A- A Concentration Gradient B- A Selectively Permeable Membrane C- A Source of Energy D- A Protein The Answer Is (A) Diffusion can occur without a semipermeable membrane, as diffusion is simply movement of a substance from high to low concentration. A source of energy is needed only for active transport. Proteins are needed if the the particles transported are too big to pass the semipermeable membrane.
