Active transport because it move up the concentration gradient which requires energy to do so. Where as the passive transport goes down the concentration which does not need energy.

Is carrier mediated passive or active?

Carrier-mediated transport can be either passive or active, depending on the type of carrier protein involved. Passive carrier-mediated transport allows molecules to move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input, while active carrier-mediated transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP or an electrochemical gradient.


How is facilitated diffusion diferant froma an active transport?

Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which does not require the cell to expend energy.


What is the differece between passive and active transport?

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane requiring energy to be expanded by the cell. ACTIVE TRANSPORT REQUIRES ENERGY. Passive transport is diffusion across a membrane requiring only random motion of molecules with no energy expanded by the cell. PASSIVE TRANSPORT REQUIRES NO ENERGY.


What is the different between active transport and passive transport of molecules across the cell membrane?

In an active transport, the cell uses energy (ATP) to transport the particle into the cell. Also, the particle moves through a "hallway" type thing. In a passive transport, the cell does not need energy (ATP) to transport the particle into the cell. Also, the particle just bursts through the cell membrane to get inside.


What type of energy does active transport require?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to move substances against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. This process is essential for maintaining proper cellular function and balance.

What type of transport needs energy?

Active transport needs energy, passive transport does not need energy.


Distinguish between active and passive transport?

Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.


If the substance entering the cell was in higher concentration inside the cell then outside the cell what type of transport would be required?

It would be active transport, a process which requires a cell to use its own energy (unlike passive transport).


Is carrier mediated passive or active?

Carrier-mediated transport can be either passive or active, depending on the type of carrier protein involved. Passive carrier-mediated transport allows molecules to move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input, while active carrier-mediated transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP or an electrochemical gradient.


Which type of transport requires assistance from membrane proteins?

Active transport requires assistance from membrane proteins. These proteins, such as ion pumps and carrier proteins, help move molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input to drive the process.

Is osmosis in passive or active transport?

Osmosis is a type of passive transport, as it does not require energy input from the cell to move molecules across a membrane. It relies on the concentration gradient to drive the movement of water molecules.


What is it called when the movement of materials through a cell membrane without using the cells energy?

Passive transport does not use energy to pass through a cell membrane. active transport uses energy to pass through a cell membrane.


Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?

passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.


Is vesicular transport active or passive?

The contractile vacuole collects water, then pumps it out of the cell. It requires energy to be expended, so it is a type of active transport.


Is carrier proteins passive transport or active transport?

Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.
