Fish Gills and Plant Roots Adaptations for Gas and Water Exchange

Active transport requires energy from respiration, while diffusion does not.

Root hairs need active transport because mineral ions are usually in higher concentrations in the cells, making diffusion ineffective.

If there is a lower concentration of sugar molecules in the gut than in the blood, active transport is required to move the sugar into the bloodstream.

<p>Active transport is essential because sometimes there can be a lower concentration of sugar molecules in the gut than in the blood, requiring energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.</p> Signup and view all the answers
