3 differences between active and passive transport on a cell.

Biology
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]3 years ago
8 0

Similarities:

Both involve ion movement. Both use ion channels to move ions across the cell membrane, in or out of the cell.

Differences:

Passive Transport (or Diffusion) moves ions from high concentration to low, using no metabolic energy. Active Transport moves ions from low concentration to high, using metabolic energy in the form of ATP.  Active Transport uses an ion pump (or Sodium/Potassium pump) to move 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions in to the cell through the energy of 1 ATP molecule.

What is the name of the phase of proteins synthesis in which the amino acids are assembled into a polypeptide chain?
iVinArrow [24]

Explanation:

During translation, ribosomal subunits assemble together like a sandwich on the strand of mRNA, where they proceed to attract tRNA molecules tethered to amino acids (circles). A long chain of amino acids emerges as the ribosome decodes the mRNA sequence into a polypeptide, or a new protein.
