What is the main difference between active and passive transport?

Biology
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B)the energy required

Explanation:

The difference between active and passive transport is in the amount of energy they both require.

  • Active transport requires energy to move molecules such as ATP and ions against a concentration gradient.
  • Passive transport moves molecules from higher concentration region to one with lower concentration without requiring energy.

Energy is the ability to do work. In passive transport, energy is not used. But in active transport, energy is required.

8-4 Discounting the Transverse Carrier Model. At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by bind
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.

Explanation:

The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.

If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, i<em>t will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer.</em> Therefore, this model is not feasible.

One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. <em>The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient.</em> It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model.<em> Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.</em>
