Why must some nutrients be absorbed by active transport rather than passive diffusion?
Solution
Passive transport is the absorption of molecules down their concentration gradients, which does
not require energy. Active transport is the absorption of nutrients, which require energy for the
process to occur. Only small molecules and water can pass through the cell membrane by passive
transport. The transport of many nutrients require energy (active transport) because of their
larger molecular size and hydrophilic nature.
