Question

1. in your own words, describe how passive and active transport can be represented by a slide.

Explanation:

Passive transport is like sliding down the slide without extra effort, moving substances from high - to low - concentration areas. Active transport is like climbing up the slide against gravity, requiring energy to move substances from low - to high - concentration areas.

Answer:

Passive transport is like sliding down the slide freely (substances move down the concentration gradient without energy). Active transport is like climbing up the slide (substances move against the concentration gradient with energy input).
