Active transport is a type of cellular transport in which substances (e.g. ions, glucose, and amino acids) are transported across a biological membrane towards the region that already contains a lot of such substances. Because of this, active transport uses chemical energy (e.g. ATP) to mov...
Learn what active transport is and how it takes place. The different types of active transport are explained and some examples are provided for...
Active Transport:Active transport is a membrane transport mechanism in which ATP-powered pumps combine with substances and move them across the plasma membrane. ATP is required in the process of active transport and the substances are transported from a region of lower to higher concentration....
172.6K Views. In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport an
Passive and active transport Biological transport at the cellular level may bepassiveoractive. Both types need aconcentration gradientto ensue. They differ though in the direction of the movement with respect to the concentration gradient. Passive transport is the transport of substances across the pla...
Passive & Active Transport in Cells from Chapter 3 / Lesson 2 69K Passive and active transport are vital for the movement of nutrients and other substances in a cell. Discover the tiny world of cell transport with the concentration gradient, simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion,...
8. Give an example of facilitated diffusion. Glucose entering cells through carrier proteins is an example of facilitated diffusion. 9. Is active transport found only in animals? No, active transport occurs in all living cells, including plants, animals, and bacteria. ...

Scientists have recently become interested in the effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive function. It has been shown in rats that the use of a running wheel every day stimulates new brain cells to grow in as few as 12 days. Brain cells in humans can't be studied directly, but what has...
Explain your answer.Transport across the cell:The cell membrane is a restrictive barrier that regulates what enters or leaves the cell. Various molecules pass across the membrane's lipid bilayer by different mechanisms such as diffusion, osmosis, mass flow and active transport....
