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
