Active energy requires more energy because it is pushing particles through the cell membrane across the concentration gradient. Passive energy follows the high to low principle. Basically, active energy is pushing against the natural high to low principle and needs energy in order to accomplish its task

Does the process of transport, whether passive or active, require energy?

Yes, the process of transport, whether passive or active, requires energy.


The different between passive transport and active transport?

Active transport requires energy; passive transport does not.


What types of transport require ATP?

The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!


A transport process that does not require the expenditure of cellular energy is?

Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.


Is diffusion active transport?

No, it is passive transport because it does not require any of the cell's energy.


Is it true that active transport differs from passive transport in that it does not require an input of energy?

No, active transport requires an input of energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to move substances against their concentration gradient. Passive transport, on the other hand, does not require energy and relies on the natural movement of substances down their concentration gradient.


Do facilitated diffusion require energy?

No energy is needed because it's a part of passive transport, not active transport.


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.


What is the main difference between active trasport and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
