What is a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?

Biology
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is A) Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.</em></u>

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion can be described as the type of diffusion which occurs with the help of other molecules. For example, when integral proteins help in the transport of a molecule through the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport as it allows molecules to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along a concentration gradient.

Active transport is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient from an area of lower concentration to the area of higher concentration and hence, require energy.

What is the difference in the beginning between primary succession amd secondary succession
lianna [129]
Primary succession is when, for example, a volcano explodes and there is nothing left and even the soil is ruined. It would take at least a hundred years for the land to be like it was before the volcano erupted. Secondary succession is when, for example, a wild fire happens but the soil is not ruined. It would take at least 25-50 years for the land to be like it was before the fire.
