Active transport

• Active transport moved substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution (against the concentration gradient)
• Active transport requires energy from respiration
• In diffusion, particles are moved down the concentration gradient
• In active transport, particles are moved against the concentration gradient
• Diffusion does not require energy from respiration
• Active transport does require energy from respiration
• Active transport in animals

  
• Mitochondria carry out respiration providing the energy required for respiration
• Active transport in plants

  
• Plants need magnesium to make chlorophyll in the leaves
