Molecules are moving against a 'concentration' gradient. Active transportation moving from low to high concentration, while passive transportation such as osmosis and diffusion go from high to low concentration.

Distinguish between active and passive transport?

Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive 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 effect does lack of oxygen have on active transport?

Lack of oxygen impairs aerobic metabolism, which is needed to produce the ATP required for active transport processes. This can lead to a decrease in the efficiency and effectiveness of active transport mechanisms, ultimately affecting the ability of cells to maintain ion gradients and transport molecules across membranes.
