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).
Active transport
The answer is active transports because it goes from high to low concentration h ope this helps.
active transport
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.
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.
It has is in the name. Active Transport
it is an active transport process
Exocytosis is an active process in cellular transport.
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
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.
Active Transport..........
a houseplant in dry soil is this process diffusion,osmosis,or active transport
Yes, the process of transport, whether passive or active, requires energy.
Specifically Diffusion, but it is also active transport
Active transport
active transport is an energy reqiuring process in which transport proteins bind with particles and move them through a cell membrane
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
