What are two differences between active transport and passive transport in terms of energy?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, while passive transport does not require energy and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, active transport can move molecules in both directions across the membrane, while passive transport can only move molecules down the concentration gradient.


What structures enable the excretory system to perform its function?

The excretory system relies on structures such as the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. Kidneys filter waste products from the blood to form urine; ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder; the bladder stores urine until it is expelled through the urethra. Together, these structures help eliminate waste and maintain the body's internal balance.


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.


Is cuscuta an autotroph?

No, Cuscuta is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll and relies on other plants for nutrients. It cannot perform photosynthesis and is not considered an autotroph.


Which type of transport uses energy passive or active transport?

Active transport uses energy to move molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, typically via protein pumps. Passive transport, on the other hand, does not require energy and relies on the natural flow of molecules from high to low concentration.

Which type of transport is the coupled passage of two materials across a membrane?

Symport is the type of transport that involves the coupled passage of two materials across a membrane in the same direction. It relies on a concentration gradient to move both substances across the membrane simultaneously.


Which type of transport could not occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of protein?

Active transport would not be able to occur if the cell was inhibited in the production of proteins. Active transport relies on specific proteins, such as pumps and carriers, to move molecules against their concentration gradient. Without these proteins, the cell would not be able to perform active transport.

What does automobile transport require?

Automobile transport requires an integrated network of roadways and relies on traffic-control systems for efficiency and safety.


Why wont a vacuum cleaner work on the moon?

A vacuum cleaner relies on moving air to pick up and transport debris to the bag or dirt container. As the moon has nothing that can really be called an atmosphere, the machine cannot function.


How does the nervous system subdivide by function?

While this is an extremely important function, the brain relies upon the peripheral nervous.


How is your veins linked to other body systems?

The veins are what transport key nutrients to the rest of the body's systems. Without the veins, the body systems would not function. For example, the veins have pathways to the brain which relies entirely on the many nutrients the blood provides it.

What is a general type of transport that does not require an expenditure of energy by the cell?

Passive transport is a general type of transport that does not require an expenditure of energy by the cell. This type of transport relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, such as diffusion or osmosis.


Is osmosis in passive or active transport?

Osmosis is a type of passive transport, as it does not require energy input from the cell to move molecules across a membrane. It relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of water molecules.


What is the root of the function in the math problem f of x?

f(x) = ...f is the name of the function, and x is the variable. I guess you could say x is the root of the function, because it is what the function relies on.
