Uses ATP
A
Passive Transport
B
Active Transport
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Active transport uses energy to transport molecules across the plasma membrane. This uses energy from ATP. They also use pumps to get molecules in or out of the cell. Passive Transport does NOT use energy to transport molecules across the membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Because of this, cellular energy (e.g. ATP) is used in active transport in contrast to passive transport which utilizes kinetic and natural energy. ATP can be generated through cellular respiration.
