Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active transport is the process by which substances move against their concentration gradient (i.e., from an area of low to high concentration) with the help of transport proteins or pumps. This process requires energy in the form of ATP, unlike simple diffusion which occurs spontaneously without the need for energy. Intravenous route and transdermal delivery system are routes of drug administration and do not relate to the process of drug movement across a concentration gradient.
