Question

Osmosis is an example of passive transport. How might the results have changed in this lab if the gummy bear had been able to use active transport to move sugars out?

Answer 1

Passive transport is the movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input. On the other hand, active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration which needs energy input.
