Active processes require energy input to move substances against their concentration gradient, such as in active transport where ions or molecules are pumped across a membrane. In contrast, passive processes do not require energy; substances move along their concentration gradient through mechanisms like diffusion or osmosis. These processes are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating the internal environment of cells.
They transport fluid/water/materials across the cell memebtane
Explain Active and Passive transport.
passive
active
Cotransport is an active process.
Exocytosis is an active process.
active
Yes, the process of transport, whether passive or active, requires energy.
It has is in the name. Active Transport
Inhalation is an active process and exhalation is a passive process
it is an active transport process
No, Process is an active entity. Program, on the other hand, is a passive entity.
Exocytosis is an active process in cellular transport.
They transport fluid/water/materials across the cell memebtane
An active process involves taking action or exerting effort, while a passive process involves receiving or being acted upon without actively participating.
