Protein pumps/ ions

53
Q

Definition of active transport

A

Active transport requires energy for membrane proteins to move molecules and ion against the concentration gradient

54
Q

Definition of passive transport

A

Passive transport occurs down a concentration gradient and goes not require energy

55
Q

Examples of passive transport

A

Diffusion and osmosis

56
Q

explain why diffusion is important to living things

A

Diffusion is important to living things because it is the way that molecules are moved form cell to cell
