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.

How do materials move in and out of cells and animal cells?

Materials can move in and out of animal cells through one of two reasons: Passive transport or active transport. Passive transport happens naturally and requires no energy on the part of the cell. It usually happens through osmosis, diffusion, or facilitated diffusion. Active transport involves endocytosis, exocytosis, or molecules moving from a low concentration to high concentration. Active transport requires energy.


There are two main ways in which molecules are transported into and out of cells - active transport and passive transport. Which of the following statements is true of passive transport?

Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.


Whats the conclusion that passive transport is easier for cells to complete than active transport?

Active transport requires the cell to expend energy. However passive transport occurs because of a gardient.


Which type of transport is responsible for oxygen entering into blood cells?

Passive


What type of transport does not require energy?

Passive transport does not require energy, as it involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the input of energy. This includes processes such as diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.


Why do cells prefer to use passive transport instead of active transport?

Cells prefer to use passive transport because it does not require energy input from the cell. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Passive transport is more efficient for moving molecules down their concentration gradient.


Is exocytosis considered a form of passive transport?

No, exocytosis is not considered a form of passive transport. It is an active process where cells expel materials by fusing vesicles with the cell membrane.


What are the two general types of transport used by cells to transport materials in and out of the cell?

The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.


Passive transport requires the cell to use ATP true or false?

There are three organells.They are mitochondria,chloroplast and cytoplasm.


What cells use active transport?

Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.


Is oxygen passive transport?

well oxygen isn't a transport system it is something that can be diffused across the membranes of cells.


What perform active transport cells use?

Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
