Many organisms acquire necessary nutrients, such as minerals, in the form of ions, by transporting these chemicals into cells against the concentration gradient. Describe the ways in which this process occurs. Be sure to

  • describe how these processes differ from diffusion
  • explain why energy is needed to drive this movement
  • describe how the cell harnesses energy for these processes

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.


How are active and passive differ from from each other?

The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.


What is the difference between passive and active transport across the plasma membrane?

Active transport is ATP dependent, whereas passive transport uses only the kinetic energy of the particles for movement across the plasma membrane- mastering A and P homework-


What does active transport look like?

The only different between passive and active transport is the use of energy. In passive transport, molecules can either diffuse across the membrane, go through an aquaporin or use a passive transporter. In active transport, energy needs to be released, and it is usually because you are trying to transport a molecule or ion up its concentration gradient.


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.

How active components are different from passive components?

active components can have gain, passive can't.


How is passive transport different then active transport?

Passive transport does not require energy input and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules across the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy (usually in the form of ATP) to move molecules against the concentration gradient.
