Question

passive transport active transport due to random movement of molecules from high to low concentration also called pumps oxygen and carbon dioxide entering or exiting a cell movement of solute from low to high concentration filtration osmosis facilitated transport requires no cellular energy moving 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions into a cell against their concentration gradients

Explanation:

Response

To solve this, we analyze the characteristics of passive and active transport:

Passive Transport (moves from high to low concentration, no energy)
  • "due to random movement of molecules from high to low concentration" (diffusion principle)
  • "oxygen and carbon dioxide entering or exiting a cell" (simple diffusion example)
  • "filtration" (passive process, e.g., in kidneys)
  • "osmosis" (passive water movement)
  • "facilitated transport" (passive, uses proteins, no energy)
  • "requires no cellular energy" (defining trait of passive transport)
Active Transport (moves from low to high concentration, needs energy)
  • "also called pumps" (e.g., sodium - potassium pump)
  • "movement of solute from low to high concentration" (against gradient, needs energy)
  • "moving 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions into a cell against their concentration gradients" (sodium - potassium pump, classic active transport example)

Passive Transport Box:

  • due to random movement of molecules from high to low concentration
  • oxygen and carbon dioxide entering or exiting a cell
  • filtration
  • osmosis
  • facilitated transport
  • requires no cellular energy

Active Transport Box:

  • also called pumps
  • movement of solute from low to high concentration
  • moving 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions into a cell against their concentration gradients
