Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In active transport the direction of the movement is ____ to that of diffusion
A
same
B
opposite
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During active transport, molecules move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This is the opposite of diffusion, and these molecules are said to flow against their concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-2: -Active transport occurs in the direction same as that of diffusion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Active transport is a kind of cellular transport where substances move against a concentration gradient. This means that the direction is from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Active transport is in a direction opposite to that of diffusion.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
