Select all of the following options that is a difference between passive transport and active transport.

A. Passive transport requires energy while active transport does not

B. Active transport requires energy while passive transport does not

C. Passive transport always involves substances moving to a higher concentration and active transport involves substances moving to a lower concentration

D. Active transport always involves substances moving to a higher concentration and passive transport involves substances moving to a lower concentration

E. Active transport is the same as passive transport only without the use of a transport protein

Solution

Active transport is associated with the high concentrations of molecules such as ions, glucose and amino acids. It is the pumping particle against a concentration gradient from lower to higher solute concentration. For these it requires energy which been covered in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri phosphate) whereas in the passive transport substances movessimply from higher to lower concentration and does not require any energy input in the process.

But to maintain homeostasis inside and out of the cell both the transport process work same to maintain the equilibrium balance. And they both involved in the movement of particles across the plasma membrane of the cell.
