The opposite of active transport is passive transport. Passive transport refers to the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without the use of energy, whereas active transport requires energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient.

∙ 16y agothe opposite of active transport is passive transport, transport of the cell not requiring energy. The plasma membrane acts as a sieve and allows small particles to pass through while restricting the movement of larger ones, for example osmosis.

What is it called when molecules uses energy to move across a semipermeable membrane?
Active transport
How does active transport differ from passive transport-?
Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not.
Is pinocytosis acitve or passive transport?
It is the active transport of liquids in vesicles into and out of a cell so it uses metabolic energy, thus active
Active transport counters the process of diffusion?
Yes, active transport is a process in which cells use energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas diffusion is a passive process where molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Active transport allows cells to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, which is opposite to the direction of diffusion.
What are two ways cell moves things by active transport?
passive transport and active transport.
What is the opposite of pasive?
If you mean the opposite of passive transport, like through a membrane, the opposite is active transport.
A transport process that does not require the expenditure of cellular energy is?
Passive transport... the opposite of active transport.
Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
What process is the is the opposite of active transport?
exocytosis which is when cells absorb materials from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane
What means of particle transport requires input of energy in a cell?
Active transport is a means of particle transport that requires the input of energy in a cell. This transport mechanism moves substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, requiring energy to drive the process.
What is a good sentence for Active Transport?
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
Is testosterone a passive transport or an active transport?
it is an ACTIVE transport.
Is an active transport active or passive?
It has is in the name. Active Transport
What is it called when molecules uses energy to move across a semipermeable membrane?
Active transport
Are fats absorbed by active transport or passive transport?
Fats are absorbed mainly by passive transport in the small intestine. This process involves the diffusion of fatty acids and monoglycerides across the intestinal epithelium and into the bloodstream without the need for energy input.
Is active transport an active or passive process?
It has is in the name. Active Transport
Differences between primary and secondary active transport?
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
