Active transport uses cellular energy to move molecules based on the concentration level and Passive transport doesn't require energy to move molecules within their cells.

EXPLANATION:

Active transport uses cellular energy for this movement. It uses energy stored in ATP to begin the transport. This means that the molecules transfer from an area where it is less in number to an area with a high concentration of molecules.

But Passive transport specifies the movement of molecules across cell membranes which doesn't require energy as it depends on the cell membrane's penetrability. Molecules just have to circulate in or out of the cell.

After a big meal, in those individuals who do not have type i diabetes, the pancreas secretes insulin, which circulates through

chubhunter [2.5K]

This is an example of negative feedback.

After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.

The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules.

Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).

Hope this helps! :)
