Active vs Passive Transport

Active transport...

• ... includes diffusion

• ... requires energy

• ... is limited to only things leaving the cell

• ... is limited to only things entering the cell

Transport that takes place against the concentration gradient

• requires no energy

• is passive

• is active

• requires equilibrium

Uses ATP

Passive

Jackson observed the movement of materials from high to low concentration through a protein channel is called (a)   .

• Passive Transport

• Active Transport

Answer explanation

The movement of materials from high to low concentration through a protein channel is known as Passive Transport. This process does not require energy, as it relies on the natural tendency of substances to move down their concentration gradient.
