Question 13
Cell and Its EnvironmentIn active transport, molecules move against a concentration gradient, therefore,
- A.molecules move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration
- B.molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
- C.the concentration gradient has little effect on the movement of molecules
- D.molecules force their way through special channels
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (molecules move from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration)
Explanation
Moving against a concentration gradient means going from where there are few molecules to where there are many, which needs energy from ATP.
