An example of active transport occurs in human nerve cells. Here, sodium ions are constantly transported out of the cell into the external fluid bathing the cell, a region of high concentration of sodium. (This transport of sodium sets up the nerve cell for the impulse that will occur within it later.)

i'm only at the start of this topic, so i hope this is ok

The transport of materials against the concentration gradient is called?
In biology (and cut potatoes in baths) this process is called Osmosis; in the Water Purification Industry the process called Reverse Osmosis is employed.
What is one example of how a cell uses active transport?
Sugar. The membrane is impermeable to sugar molecules ... insulin's function is to activate active transport.
What is endocytosis an example of?
WBC's engulf the foreign particles into their bodies.
What are the example of active transport?
first of all the def: of active transport is the movement of molecules from lower potential to higher potential nd in this process the ATP is needed. There are many examples of active transport like: 1-Its first example is endocytocis means the movement of molecules from outside to inside the cell nd it requires energy in the form of ATP bcz it is a type of active transport. 2-Its 2nd example is exocytocis means the movement of molecules from inside to outside the cell nd requires ATP. u can understand that in both examples the movement is active transport.
What is the movement of material through a membrane?
This movement occurs through several mechanisms.
Is endocytois an example of active or passive transport?
Endocytosis is an example of active transport.
Where can one find information about active transport in biology?
There are several ways to find out about active transport in terms of biology. One can inquire with a biology professor at a school or a college, research the subject using biology textbooks or library books, or research the subject on biology related websites, such as Biology4Kids.
Is phagocytosis example of vesicular transport?
No it's active transport.
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
The transport of materials against the concentration gradient is called?

Is facilitated diffusion an example of active transport?
no
What is an example of a situation that depends on active transport?
When food moves across a cell membrane, it requires Active Transport.
Is an example of active transport?
An example of active transport is sugar molecules going into a cell. It cannot pass right through like water and oxygen so it uses active transport.Diffusion

Lactose uptake in E coli is an example of which type of transport?
it's an example of secondary active transport.
The Na-K pump is an example of active transport?
Bulk Transport is an example of active transport. The process by which amoeba engulfs its food and secretes is a type of active transport. Amoeba forms false feet like pseudopodia and engulf food.Active and Passive transport both are related with plasma membrane. Active Transport is the transport of food across plasma membrane with expenditure of energy.
