The ATP hos to be provided because Active transport works against diffusion. its like the difference between a ball rolling down a hill (Passive Transport) and then having to push it up the hill (Active transport).

Why are ATPases associated with active transport proteins?

ATPases provide the energy required for active transport by hydrolyzing ATP. These proteins pump ions or molecules against their concentration gradient, maintaining cellular homeostasis. The ATPase activity is essential for driving the conformational changes that allow active transport proteins to transport substances across the cell membrane.


Describe the two methods of active transport?

Active transport involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input. Two methods of active transport include primary active transport, where energy from ATP is directly used to move molecules, and secondary active transport, where the movement of one molecule down its gradient provides energy to transport another molecule against its gradient.


What ways molecules cross the membrane with energy?

Molecules can cross the membrane with energy through active transport, which uses energy (often from ATP) to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Another way is through facilitated diffusion, where molecules move with the help of specific protein channels or carriers that provide energy for their transport.


Does the process of transport, whether passive or active, require energy?

Yes, the process of transport, whether passive or active, requires energy.


Does active transport require water?

No.... The Active Transport Requires Energy >> Just Energy But Our Bodies Transport a lot Of Substances Using Active Transport Including Water , Metal Ions, etc .......

What are two differences between active transport and passive transport in terms of energy?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.
