What is the source of the energy used in active transport?
The source of the energy used in active transport is the electrochemical gradient. Another possible source of energy for active transport is the breakdown of ATP molecules.
Active transport is the process of what?
Active transport is the process of molecules being moved across a membrane using energy. Passive transport moves the molecules without using energy.
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
Active transport requires more energy than diffusion this is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
How is passive transport different then active transport?
An example of passive transport would be the process of osmosis (water diffusing between a membrane-- from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration). It is known as passive transport because no energy is needed in order to move the water across the membrane. When no energy is needed to move the substance it is considered passive transport. On the other hand, when energy IS needed to transport molecules or substances across a membrane it is referred to as active transport. An example of this would be a calcium pump located in the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane which can transport potassium (K+) ions across it. Energy is needed in order to move those potassium ions across the membrane, and therefore is referred to as active transport.
What does active transport and facilitated diffusion have in common?
Active transport is when proteins move substances into the cell while expending energy. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of chemicals through a protein into a cell.
active transport reguires?
Active transport requires some form of energy input, usually ATP
The process of active transport requires the most direct use of?
Active transport requires cells to spend energy, usually in the form of ATP
What does ATP for the cell?
The ATP makes energy for a cell usually in active transport.
What requires ATP cellular energy?
Active Transport
What types of transport require ATP?
The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!
Which type of membrane transport process uses ATP as a source of energy?
Active transport uses ATP as an energy source.
Why active transport is a energy dependent process?
It is because active transport requires energy for it to work.
Active transport requires energy because it usually involves the movement of what substances?
Molecules
Is it true that active transport differs from passive transport in that it does not require an input of energy?
Yes. Active transport requires energy but passive transport does not.
How is active transport different from osmosis?
active transport uses energy
How is active transport different from osmosis's?
active transport uses energy
Which type of transport require energy?
Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP
