Active Transport mechanisms
A) Equilibrate the concentration of a solute across a mem brane
B) Move at least one substrate from a region of lower electrochemical potential to a region of higher electrochemical potential
C) Do not respond to differences in potential across a membrane
D) Move only ions
E) Do not require metabolic energy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active transport mechanisms move substances against their concentration or electrochemical gradients, which requires energy, typically in the form of ATP. This process moves substances from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration, which is opposite to passive transport mechanisms like diffusion.
