1
Q

Passive Transport

A

requires no extra energy by the cells
because molecules move from high concentration (squished together) to low concentration (spread out) areas down the concentration gradient

Q

Active Transport

A

Requires extra energy (ATP) to be spent to bring materials into the cell or expel materials out of the cell moving from low to high concentration against the concentration gradient.
