Homeostasis is the biological process through which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. Active processes require energy, such as the uptake of ions against their concentration gradient through active transport mechanisms. In contrast, passive processes do not require energy, as they rely on natural diffusion, allowing substances to move along their concentration gradient. Both processes are essential for regulating factors like temperature, pH, and ion concentrations in the body.
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.

Explain Active and Passive transport.
passive
Cell transport is movement of materials across cell membranes. Cell transport includes passive and active transport. Passive transport does not require energy whereas active transport requires energy to proceed. Passive transport proceeds through diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis.
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.
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.

An active process involves taking action or exerting effort, while a passive process involves receiving or being acted upon without actively participating.
