What is a characteristic that diffusion and active transport have in common and both process?

Both involve the transport of materials across the cell membrane. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and requires ATP. Diffusion goes with the concentration gradient, or from high to low concentration, and does not require ATP. ATP is the standard unit of energy in cells.

What is a good sentence for Active Transport?
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
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.
Is pumping air into a tire diffusion osmosis or active transport?
help
What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?
facilated diffusion cause when yer active you use energy
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).
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
Does active transport rely on the process of diffusion?
Yes except, diffusion is a passive process (no energy is required) whereas active transport requires energy. this is because it is moving UP then concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves DOWN it
What is active transport in a plant?
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
What process occurs in a cell membrane?
Electron Chain
A cell moves particles from a region of lesser concentration to a region of greater concentration by what?
The process in which particles move from high to low concentration is called diffusion .
This is the process whereby a protein assists in simple diffusion?
Active transport
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
Active transport counters the process of diffusion?
No; in a highly selective way it enhances it.
What process is the is the opposite of active transport?
exocytosis which is when cells absorb materials from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane
What type of transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region to a high concentration?
active transport
How is the active transport different from diffusion?
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
