To move substances against a concentration gradient specialist proteins are required (e.g. the 'sodium pump')
For these proteins to transport the solutes against the gradient a unit of ATP binds to the protein which allows it to 'pump' the ion out of the cell. The breaking of the ATP bond releases the energy required.
To provide an analogy, imagine pumping water up a hill - you would not be able to do this without inputting energy into the system (i.e. using a hand pump).
What else can I help you with?
What they call the process for a molecule to move from an area of low concentration to high concentration?
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.
This transport process moves substances agaisnt a concentrating gradient and requires energy?
active transport
What process drives molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient?
Active transport is the process that drives molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient, requiring energy input in the form of ATP. This process allows cells to accumulate substances they need in higher concentrations than their surroundings.
Active transport counters the process of diffusion?
Yes, active transport is a process in which cells use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport allows cells to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, which is opposite to the direction of diffusion.
Is active transport an active or passive process?
It has is in the name. Active Transport
Is a endocytosis active or passive transport?
it is an active transport process
Is exocytosis a passive or active process in cellular transport?
Exocytosis is an active process in cellular transport.
What is a good sentence for Active Transport?
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
What is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane?
Active transport is the process that requires the use of energy to move materials across a membrane. This process involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input from the cell.
What is a process that releases energy when oxygen is insufficent?
Active Transport..........
What is active transport in a plant?
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
Does the process of transport, whether passive or active, require energy?
Yes, the process of transport, whether passive or active, requires energy.
What is it called when materials move from lower to higher concentration?
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
What they call the process for a molecule to move from an area of low concentration to high concentration?
Active transport
What is the definition of active transport?
active transport is an energy reqiuring process in which transport proteins bind with particles and move them through a cell membrane
A transport process that does not require the expenditure of cellular energy is?
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
