Activity 3

Differentiate active transport from passive transport as to:

a. energy needed

Active Transport Passive Transport

Active transport uses energy for the
mobility of the molecules in and out of
the cellular membranes and therefore
remains active.
Active transport requires cellular
energy.
Passive transport the molecules do not
use any energy for their movements
and so they are known as passive.
Passive transport does not require any
cellular energy.

Active transport requires energy for Passive transport does not require
the movement of molecules energy for the movement of molecules

b. example of each
b.1 movement of molecules
b.2 results of the movement of molecules

Active Transport Passive Transport

Movement of Molecules In the active transport, the
molecules are carried
from the lower
concentration gradient
region to the upper
concentration gradient
region. Due to the
unidirectional process,
the molecules are pump
in the upward direction,
and therefore this
process requires energy
in the form of Adenosine
triphosphate.

In passive transport, the
molecules are carried
from the higher
concentration gradient
region to the region of
the lower concentration
gradient region. In this
process, the molecules
are bi-directional. The
molecules move in the
downward direction and
there is no requirement
of energy, due to the lack
of resistance.

 The circulation in this
process is from a region
of lower concentration to
a region of higher
concentration.
The circulation in this
process is from a region
of higher concentration
to a region of lower
concentration.

Results of the Active transport helps in The main motive of

Movement of Molecules the transportation of
larger cells and
molecules like proteins,
lipids, sugars, etc.
passive transport is to
maintain the equilibrium
in the concentration. This
transportation is found in
the liver, kidney, and in
lungs of a body.

To move substances Passive transport is a

against a concentration or
electrochemical gradient,
a cell must use energy.
Active transport
mechanisms do just this,
expending energy (often
in the form of ATP)
to maintain the right
concentrations of ions
and molecules in living
cells.
naturally occurring
phenomenon and does
not require the cell to
expend energy to
accomplish the
movement. In passive
transport, substances
move from an area of
higher concentration to
an area of lower
concentration in a
process called diffusion.
