How do the particles move in active transport?

Biology
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
5 0

In active transport particles move by making use of energy in the form of ATP.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unlike in passive transport particles have to move against the concentration gradient in active transport. Thus particles require energy to do so and this energy is in the form of ATP. Osmosis and simple diffusion are examples of passive transport where substances move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

This movement is down the concentration gradient. In active transport particles move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration which is against the concentration gradient. Active transport is of two types.

In the first type called primary active transport energy is directly used in the form of ATP. In the second type called secondary active transport an electrochemical gradient created by ATP is used to facilitate the transport.

What type of weak bond is formed when the oxygen of one water
Amanda [17]

Answer:

hydrogen bond

Explanation:

The slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule attract the slight negative charges on the oxygen atoms of other water molecules. This tiny force of attraction is called a hydrogen bond. This bond is very weak.

Why do you think<br> organisms in the<br> same kingdom are<br> not all identical?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Evolution, mutation, and adaptation

Explanation:

Since different organisms adapt to different environments and receive different mutations, they adapt differently and slowly change. That is why there are different species of birds, just look at the galapagos islands, there are thousands of species of finches that changed to survive on each island. The same could be said for every organism since the early organisms that we evolved from were widespread, some evolved differently than others, leading to different fish, different lizards, different early mammals, and so on. That is why humans look different than dogs or cats, we evolved best to our environment so we could survive.
