MovementofSubstances_KQ

Cells rely on different mechanisms to move substances across their membranes, which can be broadly categorized into active and passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move particles against a concentration gradient, such as the uptake of glucose and amino acids in the small intestines and the absorption of mineral salts by root hair cells in plants.
