What type of energy is a slinky?
kenetic energy is the type that is used when it moves but it is not energy but it uses it as all things do
What molecule supplies the energy for active transport?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that supplies the energy for active transport in cells. ATP is produced during cellular respiration and carries energy that is used by transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is passive solar energy?
Passive Solar energy is energy that unlike Solar energy passive is not active it is used by which way your house is set up and it can be put a certain way to absorb the most of passive sun power
What is the most direct source of energy for co-transport?
The most direct source of energy for co-transport is typically the movement of ions down their electrochemical gradient. This gradient is generated by active transport processes like ATP pumps. The energy stored in this gradient can be used to drive the co-transport of other molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is the difference between passive solar energy systems and active solar energy systems?
The difference between a passive solar energy system and and active solar energy system is how the energy is collected and distributed. In a passive solar energy system, the building itself is designed as a collector and the heat is distributed by natural means. In an active solar energy system, special collectors, storage tanks, and mechanical and electrical equipment (pumps and fans) are used to transport and distribute the heat energy. Passive systems - convert sunlight into electricity, which is used to heat a hot-water tank. Active systems have tubes behind them filled with water from the household supply. The direct energy from the sun heats the water in the tubes. Passive solar usually has no moving parts and the sun's energy is stored directly in whatever the sun is hitting such as a large mass or a room. Active solar heating will usually involve the use of pumps to pump a fluid to solar collectors and then back to a distribution point where the solar energy collected is transferred to another heating system, such as a forced hot air system. Active solar is much more complicated. Passive solar heating has no moving parts, but utilizes windows and the sun. The position of the house is very important. Active solar heating uses solar panels to produce electricity for heating, or pumps to move water warmed by the sun.
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.
What cells use active transport?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
What perform active transport cells use?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
To perform active transport cells use what?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
What energy is used in passive transport?
ATP is what is normally used for energy in cells.
When are active and passive transport and their types used?
Active transport uses energy in the form of ATP. Active can force electrons against the electron gradient as in the electron transport chain. Passive transport does not use energy and an example of passive transpost is osmosis.
What are the two general types of transport used by cells to transport materials in and out of the cell?
The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.
If energy is need to move materials around a cell ATP is used this is called?
passive transport
What proteins are used in both active and passive transport?
Transport proteins such as ion channels and carrier proteins are used in both active and passive transport processes. Ion channels move ions down their concentration gradient through passive transport, while carrier proteins can facilitate passive transport by allowing molecules to move along their concentration gradient, or active transport by requiring energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.
Why is the term 'equilibrium' used with passive but not active transport?
The term "equilibrium" is used with passive transport because it describes a state where there is no net movement of molecules across a membrane due to equal concentration on both sides. In active transport, energy is used to move molecules against their concentration gradient, so equilibrium is not reached as the process continues to pump molecules in or out of the cell.
How does the amount of cellular energy used to move a molecule into a cell by active transport compare to the energy used for its movement by passive diffusion?
Active transport requires a significant amount of cellular energy, typically in the form of ATP, to move molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas passive diffusion relies on the natural kinetic energy of molecules and does not require energy input. In essence, active transport is energy-intensive because it actively pumps substances into the cell, while passive diffusion occurs spontaneously and is driven by concentration differences. Consequently, the energy expenditure for active transport is much higher than that for passive diffusion.
There are two main ways in which molecules are transported into and out of cells - active transport and passive transport. Which of the following statements is true of passive transport?
Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.
