Answer: The Earth
This was believed to be true for hundreds of years....
Answer:
Active transport requires cellular energy for substances to cross the cell membrane; passive transport does not.
Explanation:
Active Transport works against the concentration gradient and therefore needs energy to make it happen
Passive transport such as Diffusion and Osmosis uses the properties of natural movement of particles which moves the molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration or down the concentration gradient and happens passively without the need for energy
Answers:
1. Facilitated diffusion: the process by which some molecules that are not able to pass directly through a cell membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins.
2. Osmosis: the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.
3. Diffusion: the spreading out of molecules across a cell membrane until to they are equally concentrated.
Step-by-step explanation:
Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration gradient.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to one of high solute concentration.
Facilitated transport occurs when molecules cannot diffuse directly through a cell membrane but can diffuse down a concentration gradient through transport channels in the membrane.
