What is the main way that active transport differs from diffusion?

2 answers:

5 0

Active transport is different from diffusion because it requires energy expenditure, while diffusion requires no energy at all. In diffusion, materials are moving from areas of high concentration across the cell membrane into areas of low concentration. This requires no energy on the part of the cell. In active transport, however, the cell is moving material between two areas of equal concentration, or from an area of low concentration into an area of high concentration. This requires the cell to expend energy.

As powerful as diffusion is, cells sometimes must move materials in the opposite direction—against a concentration difference. This is accomplished by a process known as active transport. As its name implies, active transport requires energy.

What organelle do frog RBCs have that human RBCs do not and explain why?

Lina20 [59]

Frog RBCs contain a DNA-bearing nucleus that is visible in the center of the cell. Human RBCs do not possess nucleus along with other cell organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum in order to accommodate greater amount of haemoglobin in the cells. Denucleation of rbcs is an adaptation, Which makes the mammalian red blood cell effective at transporting oxygen/eliminating CO2.

Delvig [45]

Secondary succession is the infer kind of succession that will take place on an abandoned, unpaved country road.
Secondary succession is termed as one of the two types of ecological succession in the life of a plant.
It is a process which is being started by an event for example harvesting, hurricane, and forest fire. which reduces an established ecosystem. Secondary succession occurs in a pre-existing soil and it is the ecological succession that occurs after the initial succession which has been disrupted and some animals and plants still exist.
