Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process requires cellular energy to move molecules across the cellular membrane from a region of low concentration to a region of higher concentration?
A
active transport
B
diffusion
C
osmosis
D
hydrolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is the biological process in which molecules move against the concentration gradient and require chemical energy to move biochemical compounds from a lower region to the high region. Therefore, this process uses ATP – Adenosine triphosphate to pump molecules through a concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-2: -Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes against a concentration gradient.
