Active transport requires energy, unlike passive transport. The carrier proteins in active transport act as a "pump" ( fueled by ATP) to carry/attach themselfves to useful proteins for the cell.

What kind of substances are likely to move via passive transport through phospholipod bilyer?

Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen and carbon dioxide are likely to move via passive transport through a phospholipid bilayer. These molecules can easily diffuse across the lipid bilayer due to their size and hydrophobic nature. Larger or polar molecules generally require other mechanisms such as facilitated diffusion or active transport to cross the membrane.


What kind of transport is involved when water molecules flow into a more concentrated glucose solution?

The transport involved is osmosis, where water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in this case, into the more concentrated glucose solution.


What kind of particles are moved in endocytosis?

In endocytosis, cells internalize substances by engulfing them in vesicles. This process involves the movement of various particles, including ions, small molecules, proteins, and entire viruses or bacteria, into the cell through invagination of the cell membrane. Each type of endocytosis, such as phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis, facilitates the uptake of specific particles based on the mechanism involved.


What is the purpose of the carbohydrate tails attached to some transport proteins?

Carbohydrate tails attached to transport proteins help in identifying and binding specific molecules that need to be transported. They also assist in stabilizing the protein structure and regulating its function.


What kind of molecules can move across the membrane For simple diffusion?

Passive transport is dependent on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, is dependent on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.Simple diffusion is the unassisted passage of small, hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules.

How are glucose molecules moved into a cell and what kind of transport is this?

Glucose molecules are moved into a cell via a transport protein called a glucose transporter. This process is facilitated diffusion, a type of passive transport that does not require energy. Glucose transporters help move glucose across the cell membrane down its concentration gradient.


Which kind of cell transport needs energy?

Active transport.


How does endocytosis differ from active transport?

Active transport utilizes transport proteins within the cellular membrane. Endocytosis occurs through an envagination of the cellular membrane itself to form a vessicle. Active transport is for transporting small molecules in and out of the cell while endo and exocytosis are for transporting large molecules in and out of the cell.


What kind of transport needs energy?

active transport requires energy from the cell


Is filtration active or passive?

its a kind of passive transport.


What moves substances in and out of a cell?

Substances are moved in and out of a cell through various processes such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and endo/exocytosis. These processes involve either the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient or the use of energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.

What is the process that forces molecules through membranes?

I don't think that question has one answer, considering how vast the field molecular science is and there are many things to consider, but I think what your looking for is "osmosis". The process in which a solvent (generally water) moves through a mostly permeable membrane (permeable to the solvent not to the solute) from a high solute concentration to a low solute concentration without energy inputs of any kind separating two solutions of different concentrates. hope this helps.
