Yes, phagocytosis does go against the concentration gradient. This process involves the engulfing of large particles or pathogens by immune cells, such as macrophages, which requires energy in the form of ATP. Unlike passive transport mechanisms that move substances along their concentration gradient, phagocytosis actively transports materials into the cell, making it an active process.
What else can I help you with?
Which way do molecules move during active transport?
Molecules move against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to high concentration, in active transport. This process requires energy input to pump the molecules across a membrane using specific proteins like pumps or carriers.
How do nutrients and pass into a cell?
Osmosis (when nutrients go from a high concentration of nutrients to a low concentration) and phagocytosis (when the cell actually eats it)
During active transport substances move from regions of what?
in active transport, where do molecules always go
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.
What factor determines the direction of diffusion?
The concentration gradient for that substance determines the direction of net movement of molecules in passive transport.For example:When the concentration is high or that substance, it would move from the higher concentration to a lower concentration. And vice versa.
What process is used to go against the concentration gradient?
active transport
In order for molecules to move against the concentration gradient?
Molecules can move against the concentration gradient through active transport, which requires energy input from ATP or an electrochemical gradient. In active transport, specific proteins pump molecules across the cell membrane, consuming energy to maintain a concentration gradient.
What direction does osmosis go on the concentration gradient?
Osmosis occurs from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, moving down the concentration gradient.
What happens when concentration gradient 0?
When the concentration gradient is 0, no flow is allowed to go through the cell wall. To get motion through a membrane, the concentration gradient must be higher than 0.
What is the transport of materials against a concentration gradient called?
The process of moving materials against a concentration gradient is called active transport. Active transport generally uses a protein pump to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration; in order to perform an active transport, the cell must use some of its energy to initiate the reaction.
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or faciliated diffusion?
It is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
Why is energy needed for transport?
Molecules are moving against a 'concentration' gradient. Active transportation moving from low to high concentration, while passive transportation such as osmosis and diffusion go from high to low concentration.
Is Active transport high to low or low to high concentration?
Active transport. To go "upstream" requires ATP, a form of energy, to pump against the ion gradient.
Which way do molecules move during active transport?
Molecules move against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to high concentration, in active transport. This process requires energy input to pump the molecules across a membrane using specific proteins like pumps or carriers.
How do nutrients and pass into a cell?
Osmosis (when nutrients go from a high concentration of nutrients to a low concentration) and phagocytosis (when the cell actually eats it)
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
The concentration gradient in osmosis refers to the difference in solute concentration between two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Water will move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in an attempt to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane. The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of osmosis.
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
Active transport requires more energy than diffusion this is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
