Transport of substances by diffusion
One of the process of transport of substances within and across the cell by the process of diffusion. Transport of substances in cell can occur in two different ways: Passive and Active transport.
Passive transport : Passive transport is the movement of a solute from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. This type of transport occur without the expenditure of energy.
Active transport : Active transport is the type of transport in which there occur movement of substances from region of low concentration to high concentration against the concentration gradient. In this type of movement there occur expenditure of energy.
The difference between passive transport and active transport is that the active transport requires energy, and moves substances against their respective concentration gradient, whereas passive transport requires no cellular energy and moves substances in the direction of their respective concentration gradient.
Example :
When gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen accumulate inside the cell, their concentration is greater inside compared to the external environment. Due to this difference in concentrations, their net movement is to the outside by diffuse, i.e., from their region of higher concentration to lower concentration.
Similarly, when the concentration is greater outside, and
move inside the cell from the external environment following the principle of diffusion. In unicellular organisms, transport of gases by diffusion occurs all over the cell membrane, e.g., Chlamydomonas, Paramecium, Amoeba, etc.
Which of the following are correct : (a) Passive transport is the movement of a solute from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. (b) Active transport is the movement of a solute from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. (c) Active transport is the type of transport in which there occur movement of substances from region of low concentration to high concentration against the concentration gradient. | |||

8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

7thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
