Question

Which homeostatic process requires energy to move particles across the plasma membrane?

Answer 1

Active transport is the homeostatic process that requires energy to move particles across the plasma membrane.

Further Explanation

Transport in living organisms

• Plants and animals use various processes to transport materials from one point to another.
• There are classified as either passive transport or active transport.

Active transport  

• It is a type of transport in living organisms that involves movement of substances against a concentration gradient through the plasma membrane.
• It  involves use of energy in form of ATP to aid transport of substances.

Passive transport

• It is a type of transport that does not involve the use of energy to aid movement of substances in living organisms.
• Passive transport involves free movement of substances and through special types of transporters or carriers.
• Types of passive transport includes; simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and mass flow among others.

Types of passive transport

Facilitated diffusion

• Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which involves the diffusion of solutes by use of transport proteins in the plasma membrane.
• Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins to transport solutes down their concentration gradient.

Osmosis  

• Osmosis is a special diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are lowly concentrated through a semipermeable membrane.
• It may also refer to the movement of water molecules from a region of low particle concentration to a region of a high particle concentration.

Diffusion  

• Diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
• Diffusion involves movement of molecules of substances other than water.

Answer 2

The right answer is 1. active transport.

Active transport refers to the passage of an ion or molecule across a membrane against its concentration gradient.

If the process uses chemical energy produced, for example, by the hydrolysis of a nucleotide triphosphate such as adenosine triphosphate, it is called primary active transport.

Active transport is opposed to passive transport, which does not use energy.
