Why does active transport allow cells to accumulate substances in high concentrations where as passive means of transport do not?
Active transport uses energy from ATP to carry substances such as glucose to areas where it is required through the use of transport proteins. Whereas, facilitated diffusion is a passive process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration and it also depends on kinetic energy. Meaning that the distribution of molecules by facilitated diffusion will be random, whereas, active transport will have control over the direction of the concentration gradient.
What else can I help you with?
What is passive transport diffusion?
When there is a solution on either side of a barrier (membrane for example) withing a cell, the concentrations of said solution will be different on either side of the barrier. Concentrations do not like to be different and will move from high to low until they are equal. For example, there are sodium ions on either side of a cell membrane. the concentration is higher inside, so to make the concentrations equal, some salt ions move through transmembrane proteins from the inside of the cell to the outside. it's called passive because it doesn't use any energy
What is the movement of substances without the use of energy by the cell?
Passive transport.
What passive transports function?
Passive transport refers to the movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes. The function of the passive transport is that it is used in filtration and osmosis processes.
All but one is a method of passive transport in cells?
Passive transport methods in cells include diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis, all of which allow substances to move across the cell membrane without the use of energy. The one that is not a method of passive transport is active transport, which requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.
Is it true that active transport differs from passive transport in that it does not require an input of energy?
No, active transport requires an input of energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to move substances against their concentration gradient. Passive transport, on the other hand, does not require energy and relies on the natural movement of substances down their concentration gradient.
Does passive transport move substances with the concentration gradient?
Yes, passive transport moves substances with the concentration gradient.
What occurs if substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane by active or passive transport?
passive transport
What is the movement of particles from high to low concentrations that does require energy?
Passive Transport.
The transport in which substances move from lower to high concentration is what?
Active transport is the process in which substances move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requiring energy in the form of ATP to drive this movement. It allows cells to accumulate nutrients and expel waste products against their concentration gradients.
Is used during active transport but not passive transport?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.
Does passive transport move substances against the concentration gradient?
No, passive transport does not move substances against the concentration gradient. It moves substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without requiring energy input.

What is passive membran transport?
The diffusion of substances across a membrane is called passive transport. Molecules move from where the substance is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated.
