Biology B3 1.2 Active transport.

?
What does active transport do?
Active transport allows cells to take in substances against a concentration gradient.
1 of 9
What energy does active transport use?
Active transport uses energy from respiration.
2 of 9
What substances can be absorbed by active transport?
Ions, from dilute solutions, and other substances such as sugar can be absorbed by active transport.
3 of 9
How does active transport differ in terms of needs in relation to diffusion and osmosis?
Active transport needs energy whereas diffusion and osmosis do not.
4 of 9
How do cells absorb substances which are in short supply (i.e. against the concentration gradient) using active transport?
Across partially permeable membranes against the concentration gradient.
5 of 9
What energy does active transport require?
Energy released in respiration.
6 of 9
How do root calls absorb mineral ions?
From the dilute solutions in the soil by active transport.
7 of 9
How is glucose reabsorbed?
It can be reabsorbed in the kidney tubules by active transport.
8 of 9
Why does active transport require energy?
The particles are being absorbed against a concentration gradient.
