Believe it or not, cyanide kills us by inhibiting active transport, to such an extent that substances can no longer be transferred across cell membranes. This is one example of a substance that stops the process of active transport dead in its tracks.

How is active transport different then then other types of cell transport?

active transport requires input of energy as it takes place aginst a gradient.


where does active transport takes place which part of the cell?

Active transport takes place in the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed from the intestine and into the bloodstream. More specifically, it is the structures known as villi that contain the protein receptors necessary for active transport to take place. The process also happens in the nephrons of the kidneys, where glucose and water/ions are selectively reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.


What are the two way's active transport can take place?

Active transport can occur through two primary mechanisms: primary active transport and secondary active transport. In primary active transport, energy from ATP is directly used to move ions or molecules against their concentration gradient, typically via specific transport proteins like pumps. In secondary active transport, the movement of one substance down its concentration gradient drives the transport of another substance against its gradient, often utilizing the electrochemical gradient established by primary active transport.


Moving particles from a place of lower to higher concentration using energy is what process?

The answer is active transports because it goes from high to low concentration h ope this helps.


Active transport involves what?

Active Transport requires first of all Energy which is obtained from respiration and secondly a selectively permeable membrane through which movement of materials can take place.

Difference between osmosis and active transport?

The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.

Does active transport require water?

No.... The Active Transport Requires Energy >> Just Energy But Our Bodies Transport a lot Of Substances Using Active Transport Including Water , Metal Ions, etc .......

How does diffusion take place in the body?

P.I.S.O.- Potassium in Sodium out facilitated diffusion, active transport , and passive transport and simple diffusion.


What role does active transport play in cell function?

Active transport is important for cell function as, various activities keep taking place such as manufacture of protein, fat, etc. For all these activities raw materials are needed which need to be transported to the various cell organelles. Also, the waste products too need to be transported out of the cell body.


What are injunctions?

An 'injunction' is an order issued by the court which stops or prevents some 'action' from taking place.
