diffrentiate between active and passive transport of biology
Answers
Answer:
Active transport requires energy for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules. In active transport, the molecules move against the concentration gradient whereas in passive transport, the molecules move along the concentration gradient
Answer:
Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration with the help of energy in the form of ATP. On the other hand, passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.
Explanation:
Active transport requires energy for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules.
In active transport, the molecules move against the concentration gradient whereas in passive transport, the molecules move along the concentration gradient.
Uptake of glucose in the human intestine works on the principle of active transport.
Simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis and filtration are examples of passive transport.
