What else can I help you with?
If the substance entering the cell was in higher concentration inside the cell then outside the cell what type of transport would be required?
It would be active transport, a process which requires a cell to use its own energy (unlike passive transport).
Which type of transport could not occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of protein?
Active transport would not be able to occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of proteins. Active transport relies on specific proteins, such as pumps and carriers, to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Without these proteins, the cell would not be able to perform active transport.
Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
What means of particle transport requires input of energy in a cell?
Active transport is a means of particle transport that requires the input of energy in a cell. This transport mechanism moves substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requiring energy to drive the process.
What are 2 situations which active transport would be required?
well if the active transport was not used it would have to use the passive transport. the meaning of not using the active transport because if you use the active transport in one case it would burst
When would active transport be used by a cell?
Active transport is used when molecules are moved across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, from a low to a high concentration.
What adaptation would increase the efficiency of active transport of carbohydrates from a plant cell?
Increasing the number of carrier proteins involved in active transport or increasing the surface area of the plasma membrane would enhance the efficiency of active transport of carbohydrates from a plant cell. Additionally, regulating the activity of enzymes involved in active transport could also improve the efficiency.
How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?
Well, I suppose that since mitochondria are the the main production centers of ATP and Active Transport requires ATP, that these two are directly proportional. The more mitochondria a cell has, the more ATP it can make, and the more it can do Active Transport
How might life be different if cells had to use active transport to move every substance?
Life would be very difficult and processes would drag if cells were to use active transport to move every substance to its destination.
How are active transport and passive transport different from each other?
Active transport requires energy input to move substances across a membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy as it moves substances along their concentration gradient. Active transport is selective and requires specific transport proteins, while passive transport occurs through simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
Could an organism survive only by using passive transport never active transport?
There's an almost infinite number of organisms out there and I wouldn't be overly surprised if some could, but generally speaking, cells need active transport to maintain control over the substances entering and exiting. At the expense of some enrgy, active transport allows cells to control to some extent the molecules that are allowed to cross the plasma membrane. A basic example would be to say that in most human cells, waste products are secreted by active transport so without such a process there would be a toxic buildup in the cell; and also that glucose requires active transport to enter a cell so without it, the cell would have no form of energy and die
How is diffusion different from active transport?
active transport is different from diffusion. active transport has to do with the movement of chemical substance through a gradient of concentration. diffusion has to do with requiring the expenditure of energy
