Source sentences:
text: Passive transport can only move molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration, whereas active transport moves molecules from an area of lower concentration to higher concentration.
text: Active Transport is a process that will move molecules into a cell against the concentration gradient – i.e. from a low concentration to a high concentration.
text: If there is a lower concentration of sugar inside the cell and a higher concentration outside the cell, then active transport can move the molecules against the gradient.
text: The basic difference between both kinds of transport is that Active Transport requires chemical energy to complete its biochemical transport as it have to move the molecules from lower concentration towards the high concentration which is against the natural law of transportation and it thus requires energy for this purpose,
