Which statement is false about active transport?
|
|
It requires energy.
|
|
|
It requires a membrane.
|
|
|
It moves particles down the concentration gradient.
|
|
|
It moves particles against the concentration gradient.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: In active transport, some solutes are moved against their concentration gradients, from one side of a membrane to the other, using energy from ATP hydrolysis. This statement is true.
Detailed explanation-2: -During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
Detailed explanation-3: -The statement is true. Diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves substances passing through the cell membrane down a concentration gradient. Large molecules and ions are able to get inside the cell through passive transport due to the presence of transport proteins.
