Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are true of active transport?I. It is against the concentration gradientII. It uses channel proteinsIII. It requires energy released from ATP
A
I and II only
B
I and III only
C
II and III only
D
I, II and III
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is true regarding active transport? Active transport requires energy.

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: -Exocytosis, endocytosis and sodium-potassium pump are a few examples of active transport. The process of endocytosis and exocytosis are utilized by all the cells for transportation of molecules which cannot passively permeate via the membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘True’.
