Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following forms of cell transport DOESN’T use ATP?
A
Endocytosis
B
Diffusion
C
Exocytosis
D
Antiport Pumps
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Passive Transport does NOT use energy to transport molecules across the membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Facilitated diffusion does not require high energy molecules such as ATP. This type of diffusion uses channel proteins and carrier proteins to transport molecules across the plasma membrane. Facilitated diffusion involves the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three transport processes that do not require energy are; diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Video Solution: Active transport does not require ATP.
