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

Biology

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.

True [87]

Answer:

1. While Biology is the study of living things, living things themselves are made up of chemical composition. Our survival is dependant on the reactions taking place inside and outside the body. Hence, to understand living things, biologists needs a good understanding of chemistry.

2. 170 pm is the radius of a Carbon Atom.

3. The vast majority of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus

4. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

5. Neutrons are located with protons in the nucleus; they too exchange mesons with protons and with each other to form the strong nuclear force, but they do not have to overcome the repulsion from Coulomb forces since neutrons are not charged.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The presence of a stop codon—UAA, UAG or UGA—in the A site of the ribosome is generally a signal to terminate protein synthesis. This process constitutes the last essential stage of translation, as it ensures the formation of full-sized proteins
