No, constant gradient does not directly relate to passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane without the use of cellular energy, while constant gradient refers to a consistent change in concentration over a distance. However, the presence of a constant gradient can facilitate passive transport by driving the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient.

Does passive transport move with or against the concentration gradient?

Passive transport moves with the concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move substances with the concentration gradient?

Yes, passive transport moves substances with the concentration gradient.


Is the concentration gradient active or passive in cellular transport processes?

The concentration gradient is a passive force in cellular transport processes.


What id the difference between active and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules from high to low concentration. Active transport is selective and can transport specific molecules, while passive transport is nonselective and moves molecules based on their concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move up or down the concentration gradient?

Passive transport moves down the concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What proteins are used in both active and passive transport?

Transport proteins such as ion channels and carrier proteins are used in both active and passive transport processes. Ion channels move ions down their concentration gradient through passive transport, while carrier proteins can facilitate passive transport by allowing molecules to move along their concentration gradient, or active transport by requiring energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.


What is true about passive transport?

The concentration gradient is the driving force.


Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?

Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.


How can active transport differ from passive transport?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules along their concentration gradient. Active transport usually involves the use of transport proteins, such as pumps or carriers, while passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion.


Is used during active transport but not passive transport?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.


What facilitated passive transport across a cell membrane?

concentration gradient


Is passive transport able to occur against the concentration gradient?

No, passive transport cannot occur against the concentration gradient. It only moves substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
