|
|
|
Active uses ATP (energy) and passive does not need energy
|
|
|
Active stores transport proteins and passive releases
|
|
|
Active uses hormones and passive does not
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Active transport requires energy for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules. In active transport, the molecules move against the concentration gradient whereas in passive transport, the molecules move along the concentration gradient.
Detailed explanation-2: -Active transport uses energy to transport molecules across the plasma membrane. This uses energy from ATP. They also use pumps to get molecules in or out of the cell. Passive Transport does NOT use energy to transport molecules across the membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: No they do not require ATP. This transport occurs due to the concentration gradient.
