Active transport requires cellular energy to move materials against a concentration gradient, while passive transport moves materials down a concentration gradient without energy expenditure. Active transport involves the movement of molecules through membrane transport proteins, whereas passive transport relies on diffusion or facilitated diffusion through membrane transport proteins or channels. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic solution, the movement of water into or out of the cell and the resulting change in cell volume depends on whether the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than, equal to, or higher than the internal solute concentration.

require the cell to expend energy to move the materials, while passive transport can be done without using cellular energy.
Active transport requires energy
for the movement of molecules whereas passive transport does not require energy for the movement of molecules.
the difference in concentration
a process by which molecules pass through a membrane
from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one
phagocytosis involves the
ingestion of solid material, pinocytosis is the ingestion of surrounding fluid
The tonicity of the solute, salt, is
greater than that of the solvent, water the cells shrivel in hypertonic saltwater When a cell is placed in a When a cell is placed in an When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there isotonic solution, there is no net hypotonic solution, there is a net is a net flow of water out flow of water into or out of the flow of water into the cell, and the of the cell, causing it to cell, and the volume of the cell cell expands. If the solute lose volume. A solution is remains constant. If the concentration outside the cell is hypertonic to a cell if its concentration of solutes outside lower than the solute solute concentration the cell is the same as the concentration inside the cell, and exceeds that of the cell, concentration inside the cell and the solutes are not able to cross and the solutes are the solutes cannot cross the the membrane, the solution is unable to cross the membrane, the solution is hypotonic to the cell. membrane. isotonic to the cell.
