Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question describes a process in which nutrients are transported across the intestinal cell membrane with the help of a transport protein and energy released from ATP. This process is known as active transport, which requires energy expenditure to move substances against their concentration gradient. Mediated transport and facilitated diffusion both involve the use of transport proteins, but they do not require ATP as an energy source. Passive diffusion does not require the use of transport proteins or energy expenditure. Therefore, the correct answer is A) active transport.
