passive transport
Active transport is the mechanism by which particles are moved from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration in a cell. This process requires energy to pump the particles across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
Yes, phagocytosis does go against the concentration gradient. This process involves the engulfing of large particles or pathogens by immune cells, such as macrophages, which requires energy in the form of ATP. Unlike passive transport mechanisms that move substances along their concentration gradient, phagocytosis actively transports materials into the cell, making it an active process.
The process is called active transport. It requires energy to move particles against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
A cell can overcome a concentration gradient by using active transport mechanisms such as pumping ions or molecules against their concentration gradient. This requires energy in the form of ATP to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Additionally, cells can also utilize facilitated diffusion where integral membrane proteins help transport molecules down their concentration gradient.
passive transport
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
In diffusion, substances flow with a concentration gradient, meaning that they flow from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. Flowing against a concentration gradient would be going from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration, but this only occurs in active transport.
Passive transport moves with the concentration gradient.
