Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of cellular transport moves molecules from low concentrations to high concentrations?
A
Osmosis
B
Diffusion
C
Passive Transport
D
Protein Pumps
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration-against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -During active transport, a protein pump uses energy, in the form of ATP, to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -ACTIVE TRANSPORT It is also possible to move substances across membranes against their concentration gradient (from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration).
