Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The substance moves from low to high concentration, against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

When molecules move from high to low concentration, it is known as Diffusion. It moves with the concentration gradient and does not require energy.

However, when molecules move from low to high concentration, it is against the concentration gradient and cannot proceed without Energy. This process is called Active transport.

Cell membrane is not thick, it is thin and semi permeable.

What gas is a reactant in cellular respiration
pochemuha

Answer:

Explanation: Although cellular respiration has multiple parts, the basic chemical equation is:

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation: Oxygen + Glucose (sugar) = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

This equation is often broken into two parts, the reactants and the products. Reactants are the molecules that begin cellular respiration, in this case that would be oxygen and glucose. Products are what forms during cellular respiration. Here, the products are carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As the focus of this lesson is on the reactants of cellular respiration, oxygen and glucose, let's take a look at those.

Reactants--

The first reactant in the equation for cellular respiration is oxygen. Most people are familiar with oxygen since it's the primary gas needed for sustaining our lives. We obtain oxygen by simply breathing. Oxygen is highly reactive and therefore perfectly suited for driving chemical reactions such as cellular respiration. However, people may be less familiar with the second reactant in our respiration equation: glucose.
