Which of the following phrases best describe active transport?
Can you post the phrases please?
Hi, may I ask is this the answers choice that you have? If yes then here's my explanation to you:) A) The movement of substances across a biological membrane down a concentration gradient (i.e, from high concentration to low concentration) B) The movement of substances across a biological membrane with a membrane potential (i.e., from regions of positive charge to regions of negative charge) C) The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane D) The movement of substances across a biological membrane up a concentration gradient (i.e., from low concentration to high concentration) E) None of the above Ok, A describes diffusion, B possibly Electrostatic Induction C describes osmosis D is active transport Active transport is the mediated process of moving particles across a biological membrane against a concentration gradient. If the process uses chemical energy, such as from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), it is termed primary active transport. Source: mansfield.osu.edu/~sabedon/campbl08.htm + biological science student
