Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When moving particles AGAINST their concentration gradient, this is called?
A
Passive Transport
B
Osmosis
C
Active Transport
D
Facilitated Diffusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is “active” because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). It is the opposite of passive transport .

Detailed explanation-2: -The movement of ions or molecules against a concentration gradient with the utilisation of energy is known as active transport.

Detailed explanation-3: -In active transport, the particles move across a cell membr ane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes “uphill”-against a concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-4: -Active transport is an energy-driven process where membrane proteins transport molecules across cells, mainly classified as either primary or secondary, based on how energy is coupled to fuel these mechanisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane in the direction against their concentration gradient using energy. Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
