"...requires" vs. "... is required by"

megan321

Hey guys! I noticed on my last exam that I had trouble differentiating between the logical indicators, "requires" and "is required by." Can anyone help me out?

Requires:

1. Eating healthy requires eating an adequate amount of fruits and veggies every day.

Eating Healthy --> Adequate Amount of F and V

(If I want to eat healthy, then I have to eat an adequate amount of fruits and veggies every day)

Required:
2. The LSAT is required by all the top law schools that I want to attend.

Top law schools that I want to attend --> LSAT

(If I want to attend a top law school, the LSAT is required)

A is required by B: B --> A
