Active transport + diffusion

    Cards (6)

    • Active transport is when substances are moved from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution but requires energy from respiration.
    • Diffusion is the movement of particles from a low concentration to a high concentration without requiring energy from respiration.
    • What is the name that does require energy from respiration?
      Active transport
    • What is the name that doesn't require energy from respiration?
      Diffusion
    • During diffusion, do the particles move against or down the concentration gradient?
      down
    • During active transport, are particles moved down or against the concentration gradient?
      against
