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

Biology
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]4 years ago

Answer:

Major difference between active transport and facilitated difusion is:

Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.

Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

  • Active transport involves the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
  • Since molecules move from lower concentration to higher concentration this mode of transport needs energy.
  • Facilitated diffusion do not require energy  but need some other molecule or carrier protein to transport the molecules across the membranes.
  • In facilitated diffusion, the molecules move from their region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Plants and trees couldn't thrive without capillary action. Capillary action helps bring water up into the roots. With the help of adhesion and cohesion, water can work it's way all the way up to the branches and leaves.

Answer:

Yes, competition is likely to occur

Explanation:

Competition is an ecological interaction between organisms of the same or different species, resulting in the detriment of one of the organisms. Competition is generally caused when organisms in an ecosystem occupies the same niche i.e. they rely on the same ecological resource, which could be food, mate, space etc.

The case described in this question involving a Bagheera kiplingi (jumping spider) and acacia ants will likely result in competition because they both occupy the same habitat and feed on the same food (vegetable plant). The two organisms will have to compete for this limited resource, hence, it is regarded as an INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION because it involves two different organisms.
