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
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
