What are the different methods of transport across a membrane ?

1 answer:

6 0

If I remember correctly, there are two main types of transport—passive and active. Passive transport does not require energy or ATP, whereas active transport does.

Types of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, both of which involve moving down a concentration gradient and thus not requiring energy.

Active transport moves up the concentration gradient and does require energy.

Perhaps someone who has taken bio within the last several years can correct anything I might have misstated here.

A boy has XY chromosome and a lady has XX chromosomes. This explains why Sue inherited the mother's copy of chromosome 13 but their father's copy of chromosome 14 while her brother Billy inherited their father's copy of both chromosomes 13 and 14. He inherited both due to the presence of XY chromosomes.
