Active transport

?
transport
active transport is a type of transport that requires energy
1 of 10
against gradient
unlike diffusion active transport moves against concentration gradient.
2 of 10
molecules
molecules are moved from a dilute soltion to a concentrated solution
3 of 10
respiration
energy needed comes from cell respiration
4 of 10
root cells
active transport is used by root cells to absorb minerals like nitrates from dilute concentration in the soil.
5 of 10
special proteins
special proteins in the cell membrane transport molecules from the surroundings into the cell .
6 of 10
cell respiration
cell respiration occurs in the cell microchrondria, where the glucose is broken down and combined with oxygen to release energy.
7 of 10
active transport
cells that do alot of active transport like root hair cells have lots of mitrochrondria.
8 of 10
oxygen
to obtain the oxygen needed for respirtaion to fuel the active transport,root hair cells absorb oxygen form the air spaces in the soil.
9 of 10
transport
if the transportis againt the concentration gradient energy is needed.
