How does facilitate transport differ from active transport?

Facilitated transport occurs when a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower without the aid of energy. Active transport involves additional energy as it is moving from a lower concentration into a higher concentration.


What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?

Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport


How can a cell transport a substance from lower to higher concentration?

A cell can transport a substance from lower to higher concentration through active transport, which uses energy to move molecules against the concentration gradient. This process typically involves the use of specialized proteins in the cell membrane to pump the molecules against the concentration gradient.


How are facilitated diffusion and active transport different?

Because facilitated diffusion moves moolecules from regions of higher concentration toward lower concentration, active transport moves particles through membranes from region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration


Moving substances from a lower concentration to a higher concentration requires . passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport pinocytosis?

Active transport. This process uses energy to pump substances against their concentration gradient, allowing them to move from areas of lower concentration to higher concentration.


What is the movement of substance from a region of lower concentration to a region higher concentration?

This process is known as active transport. It requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. Examples include the sodium-potassium pump in cells.


Energy is used to move particles from a place of lower to higher concentration?

active transport


How does glucose concentration affect active transport?

Glucose concentration can affect active transport by influencing the rate of transport. In some cases, a higher glucose concentration can lead to an increased rate of active transport to maintain cellular homeostasis. Conversely, a lower glucose concentration may result in decreased active transport activity until a balance is restored.


What is difference between active transport and passive transport?

One difference is energy consumption. Active transport requires the cell to expend energy, while passive transport does not. Active transport is movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration and passive transport is movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expended by the cell. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. Active transport requires ATP to transport materials. Passive transport does not require ATP input to transport materials. Ex: diffusion


Moving particles from a place of lower to higher concentration using energy is what process?

The answer is active transports because it goes from high to low concentration h ope this helps.


What is the relationship between osmosis and active transplant?

I think you mean "Active Transport" The main differences between the two is that osmosis does not use energy and active transport does. Also osmosis moves from a higher concentration of solution to a lower concentration, whereas active transport can be used to go from a lower concentration of solution to a higher concentration.


Explain the difference between passive transport and active transport Give several types of each and explain how they work?

when molecule travels from a higher concentration to a lower concentration through a concentration gradient.It is known as passive transport. Active transport refers to when molecule travels from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against the concentration gradiet. Transport of protein is an active transport. Fit it in the sentence your way
