When no energy is present substances will naturally move from low to high concentration?
Actually, substances naturally move from areas of high concentration to low concentration, a process known as diffusion. This movement occurs due to the random motion of particles and continues until equilibrium is reached. Energy is not required for this process; instead, it relies on the inherent kinetic energy of the molecules. In contrast, moving substances from low to high concentration requires energy input, typically through active transport mechanisms.
What is the move Substances Through The Plasma Membrance?
Substances move through the plasma membrane via various mechanisms, primarily including passive transport, active transport, and bulk transport. Passive transport, such as diffusion and facilitated diffusion, allows substances to move along their concentration gradient without energy input. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient. Bulk transport involves processes like endocytosis and exocytosis, where larger molecules or particles are transported in vesicles.
Why does active transport allow cells to accumulate substances in high concentrations where as passive means of transport do not?
Active transport uses energy from ATP to carry substances such as glucose to areas where it is required through the use of transport proteins. Whereas, facilitated diffusion is a passive process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration and it also depends on kinetic energy. Meaning that the distribution of molecules by facilitated diffusion will be random, whereas, active transport will have control over the direction of the concentration gradient.
How Small uncharged substances enter and leave the cell membrane through the process of?
Small uncharged substances enter and leave the cell membrane primarily through passive diffusion. This process occurs when these molecules move across the lipid bilayer from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, driven by their concentration gradient. Since they are uncharged and small, they can easily pass through the hydrophobic core of the membrane without the need for energy or specific transport proteins. Examples of such substances include oxygen and carbon dioxide.
In order for substances to move through the cell membrane what must there be?
For substances to move through the cell membrane, there must be a concentration gradient, as substances will naturally move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration through processes like diffusion or facilitated diffusion. Additionally, specific transport proteins or channels may be required depending on the size or charge of the substance being transported.
Does passive transport move substances against the concentration gradient?
No, passive transport does not move substances against the concentration gradient. It moves substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without requiring energy input.
When substances move through a cell membrane by diffusion the cell uses a lot of energy to move those substances. Is this true or false?
False. Diffusion is a passive process that does not require energy input from the cell. Substances move down their concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The cell membrane facilitates this movement without the need for energy.
Is active transport opposite from diffusion?
Yes, active transport is essentially the opposite of diffusion. While diffusion is a passive process that allows substances to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration without the need for energy, active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. This energy is typically provided by ATP.

Does not require such an energy expenditure and occurs spontaneously?
The process you are describing is "passive transport," which moves substances across a cell membrane without the need for energy input. This can occur through processes like diffusion and osmosis, driven by concentration gradients.

Since they are uncharged and small, they can easily pass through the hydrophobic core of the membrane without the need for energy or specific transport proteins. Examples of such substances include oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Is used during active transport but not passive transport?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.
What is the movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?
passive transport
The movement of substances through a cell membrane without the use of cell energy?
Passive transport using osmosis and diffusion. Osmosis only applies to the movement of water down a concentration gradient across a selectively permeable membrane. DOH!!!
What is passive transpot?
Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy. It occurs along a concentration gradient, with substances moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Examples include diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
