What is different about the diffusion conc. gradient vs the A.T conc. gradient?
In diffusion, particles move down the
concentration
gradient whereas in A.T, particles are moved
against
the concentration
gradient
Diffusion does not require energy from
respiration
whereas A.T does require
energy
from
respiration
A.T always takes place across a membrane
against
their concentration gradient whereas diffusion moves through the
membrane
