Difference between active and passive transport at least 19 points
hey i only have learned about these points
haracter | Active Transport | Passive Transport |
Definition | In Active transport the molecules are moved across the cell membrane, pumping the molecules against the concentration gradient using ATP (energy). | In Passive transport, the molecules are moved within and across the cell membrane and thus transporting it through the concentration gradient, without using ATP (energy). |
Energy | Active transport requires cellular energy. | Passive transport does not require any cellular energy. |
Circulation | The circulation in this process is from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. | The circulation in this process is from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. |
Process | It is a dynamic and rapid process. | It is a physical and comparatively slow process. |
Aim | The main aim is to transport all molecules such as proteins, large cells, complex sugars, ions, etc. | The main aim is to transport all soluble molecules, including oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, lipids, sex hormones, etc. |
Protein | The active transport, carrier proteins are required. | The passive transport, carrier proteins are not required. |
Direction | Transportation is only in one direction. | Transportation is bidirectional. |
Selective | Active transport is highly selective. | Passive transport is partly non-selective. |
Temperature | It is influenced by temperature. | It is not influenced by temperature. |
Metabolic inhibitors | Active transportation is influenced by metabolic inhibitors. | Passive transportation is not influenced by metabolic inhibitors. |
Types | Exocytosis, Endocytosis, sodium-potassium pump. | Osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion. |
