Is ATP needed for osmosis?

No, ATP is not needed for osmosis. Osmosis is a passive process that occurs due to the concentration gradient of solutes across a semi-permeable membrane. ATP is required for active transport processes, not osmosis.


Do facilitated diffusion require energy?

No energy is needed because it's a part of passive transport, not active transport.


How is passive transport different then active transport?

Passive transport does not require energy input and relies on the concentration gradient to move molecules across the cell membrane. Active transport requires energy (usually in the form of ATP) to move molecules against the concentration gradient.


Is transport protein binds with the needed molecule active transport?

B passive transport i think This is cassidy evans from ramah high school


If the substance entering the cell was in higher concentration inside the cell then outside the cell what type of transport would be required?

It would be active transport, a process which requires a cell to use its own energy (unlike passive transport).


What is the differece between passive and active transport?

Passive transport does not require energy input from the cell, relying on concentration gradients to move substances across the cell membrane. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy usually in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.


Compare active transport to passive transport?

Active transport requires energy, whereas passive transport does not. Passive transport is normally something moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration (with the grain). Active transport is something moving from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration(against the grain).


What is it called when transport protein binds with the needed molecule?

passive transport


What type of energy does active transport require?

Active transport requires energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to move substances against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. This process is essential for maintaining proper cellular function and balance.


How much energy is needed for passive transport?

None


How does nutrients cross plasma membrane?

Nutrients can cross the plasma membrane either through passive processes like simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, or through active transport mechanisms like primary active transport or secondary active transport. In passive processes, nutrients move down their concentration gradient without requiring energy input, while active transport mechanisms use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.


Move needed substances or waste materials through the plasma membrane?
