What separates active transport from passive transport?
Active transport is when a cell needs to use energy in or to let substances pass in through or out or its cell membrane or cell wall. Passive transport requires to energy at all making substances like water easy to let pass through.
How is passive transport different in plant cells and animal cells?
Plants have cell walls, whereas animals do not. The cell wall changes the characteristics of molecules able to passively (enter and exit) diffuse into plant cells and this also helps to better retain them inside the cell.
Is plasmolysis an example of active transport?
Osmosis is the tendency of fluid to pass through a semi-permeable membrane until there is an equal concentration of fluid on each side of the membrane. The fluid in not transported, movement is self induced
Do bacteria have mouths?
No, bacteria do not have mouths like animals do. Instead, they absorb nutrients through their cell wall or membrane. Bacteria use various methods to obtain nutrients, such as secreting enzymes to break down molecules in their environment and then absorbing the smaller components.
The cell wall in active transport?
The cell wall mainly provides structural support and protection to plant cells, and it is not directly involved in active transport. Active transport is a cellular process that requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient across the cell membrane using protein pumps. This process occurs in the plasma membrane, not the cell wall.

What can large particle can enter a cell by an active-transport process?
The cell Wall
Identify at least five ways by which a substance may enter the cell?
A substance can enter a cell through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, endocytosis, or passive transport. Each of these processes has different mechanisms for moving substances across the cell membrane.
What is Uniport?
Uniport is a type of protein transporter found in cell membranes that facilitates the transport of a single type of molecule across the membrane. It is a passive transport process that relies on the concentration gradient of the molecule being transported.

Whenever sodium ions are reabsorbed through the wall of the renal tubule be active transport chloride ions are?
reabsorbed passively in response. This passive movement helps maintain electrical neutrality and osmotic balance in the renal tubule.
Give two differences between active transport and passive transport?
Active transport requires energy, passive transport just happens. If there is more of a certain molecule on one side of a membrane than the other, molecules that CAN fit through the membrane will do, so the concentration will even itself out. No work has to be done to achieve this. SO when you breathe in, oxygen just diffuses across from the air into your blood, because there's plenty of it in the air. But if a plant needs to get say magnesium from the soil (which it needs to make chlorophyll) then it is not going to get much by diffusion, because there's not much in the soil and probably more in the plant. It will need to use active transport ie a protein in the cell wall will pick up the substance wanted and flip it into the cell, and this costs the cell some energy.
What is a cell wall for?
It keeps the cell "guts" in and other stuff out. The cell wall also acts as a transport system to move nutrients and needed molecules in and waste products out of the cell.
Which type of transport requires energy to move sodium ions from a low concentration across the intestinal wall into a higher concentration?
Active transport.
