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.
What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?
facilated diffusion cause when yer active you use energy
Is pumping air into a tire diffusion osmosis or active transport?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Pumping air into a tire is actually neither diffusion osmosis nor active transport. It's more like good old-fashioned physical work - you're simply using a pump to increase the pressure inside the tire. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents!
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 active transport in a plant?
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or 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 it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
This is the process whereby a protein assists in simple diffusion?
Active transport
Is diffusion an act of active transport?
No, diffusion is not an act of active transport. Diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, without the input of energy. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Active transport counters the process of diffusion?
Yes, active transport is a process in which cells use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport allows cells to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, which is opposite to the direction of diffusion.
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 is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
Is it true diffusion is a type of active transport?
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
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 through ion channels a form of active transport?
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
What two processes transport materials through the semi-permable membrane?
Considering the cell membrane itself, processes include diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (passive processes that do not require energy) and active transport (an active process that requires energy).
