Question

Differrntiate passive and active transport​

Answer

#1)

Passive Transport

• It is a physical process.
• Passive transport is unaffected by O2 content.
• 1. The cells do not spend energy in passive transport.

#2)

Active Transport

• It helps in the accumulation of substances in the cells.
•  It is highly selective.
• Metabolic inhibitors stop active transport.  

 

Answer 2

Active Transport:

• Requires cellular energy.
• It circulates from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration
• Required for the transportation of all the molecules such as proteins, large cells, complex sugars, ions, etc.
• It transports various molecules in the cell.
• Active transport is a dynamic process.
• It is highly selective.
• Active transport is a rapid process.
• Transpires in one direction
• Active transportation is influenced by temperature.
• In active transport, carrier proteins are required
• Different types of Active Transport are –
• Exocytosis, endocytosis, sodium-potassium pump.

Passive Transport:

• Do not require cellular energy.
• It circulates from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
• Required for the transportation of all soluble molecules, including oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, lipids, sex hormones, etc.
• It is involved in the maintenance of the equilibrium level inside the cell.
• Passive Transport is a physical process.
• It is partly non-selective
• Passive transport is a comparatively slow process.
• Transpires bidirectionally.
• Passive transportation is not influenced by temperature.
• In passive transport, carrier proteins are not required
• Different types of Passive Transport are – Osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion
