Determine whether each piece of information in the table describes active transport or passive transport.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to determine whether specific processes related to cell transport are classified as active or passive transport. It involves analyzing characteristics of each transport type.
Answer
Active transport: Energy, ATP, against gradient. Passive transport: High to low concentration.
Active transport: Occurs only in cells requiring large amounts of energy, Requires ATP, Moves substances against the concentration gradient. Passive transport: Occurs from high concentration to low concentration.
Answer for screen readers
Active transport: Occurs only in cells requiring large amounts of energy, Requires ATP, Moves substances against the concentration gradient. Passive transport: Occurs from high concentration to low concentration.
More Information
Active transport requires cellular energy to move substances against a gradient, while passive transport relies on natural diffusion without energy input.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming passive transport also requires ATP. Remember, ATP is only needed for active transport.
