TRANSPORT INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Type of cellular transport that uses ATP (energy).
A
Passive Transport
B
Active Transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Primary active transport directly uses a source of chemical energy (e.g., ATP) to move molecules across a membrane against their gradient.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Active transport is the transport of molecules that require the use of energy, in the form of an energy-storing chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to help them cross the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -The three types of cell Transport are: Simple Diffusion. Osmosis. Facilitated Diffusion.
