The type of nutrient absorption process that requires both energy and the use of a carrier protein is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active transport requires the use of energy (usually ATP) and carrier proteins to move nutrients against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is necessary for the absorption of nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, and certain ions. Hydrolysis, passive diffusion, and facilitated diffusion do not require energy or carrier proteins to move nutrients across cell membranes.
