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!)
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
What is the name of the process of how things get in and out of the cell?
The process by which substances enter and exit the cell is called cellular transport. It primarily occurs through two main mechanisms: passive transport, which does not require energy, and active transport, which requires energy expenditure by the cell. Examples of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, while examples of active transport include endocytosis and exocytosis.
What are ther types of transport process by which metabolites pass through biomembrane?
The types of transport processes by which metabolites pass through biomembranes include passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Passive diffusion relies on the concentration gradient for movement, facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins to assist in movement, and active transport requires energy input to move metabolites against their concentration gradient.
How does active transport differ from the process of diffusion across a membrane?
Diffusion is the process in which a certain substance achieves equal concentrations in a specific area. Diffusion across a membrane means that the substance is equally distributed between both sides of the membrane, assuming the substance can pass through that membrane (the membrane is permeable to the substance).Active transport is just that, active. It requires energy because it is usually moving substances to a place where they would not naturally move or increases the rate of their disbursing. Active transport can move molecules against a concentration gradient, whereas diffusion cannot.Simply, active transport means that energy is needed to transport the object/molecule while diffusion is a naturally occurring process dependent on the concentration gradients between the membrane.
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.
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).
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
