Question

question 1 - 5 essential nutrients move through a cell membrane by both passive transport and active transport. which statement about active transport or passive transport is true? passive transport requires chemical energy to move nutrients into the cell. passive transport moves nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. active transport moves nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. active transport allows nutrients to diffuse through the membrane without the use of chemical energy.

Explanation:

Passive transport moves substances from high - to low - concentration areas without energy. Active transport moves substances from low - to high - concentration areas and requires chemical energy (ATP).

Answer:

Passive transport moves nutrients from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Active transport moves nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration and requires chemical energy to move nutrients into the cell. Active transport does not allow nutrients to diffuse through the membrane without the use of chemical energy. So the correct statement is that active transport moves nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration and requires chemical energy to move nutrients into the cell.
