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!)
How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?
Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.
Is glucose molecule passive or active transport?
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
What 2 transport processes use carrier proteins?
Two transport processes that use carrier proteins are facilitated diffusion and active transport. In facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins help move molecules across the cell membrane down their concentration gradient, while in active transport, carrier proteins help move molecules against their concentration gradient by using energy.
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 is the way the active transport differs from diffusion?
Active transport uses energy while diffusion does not
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.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
What are Vesicle mediated transport is a type of?
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?
Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
What is the main way that active transport differs diffusion?
ATP is required for active transport.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is facilitated diffusion active?
No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.
In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also 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.
Is diffusion an active or a passive transport?
Passive.
