Question
which type of transport requires energy to move molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
isotonic
active
passive
diffusion
osmosis
Active transport moves molecules against the concentration gradient (from low to high concentration) and requires energy input, usually in the form of ATP. Isotonic refers to equal - concentration solutions, passive transport moves molecules down the concentration gradient without energy, diffusion is a type of passive transport, and osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi - permeable membrane.
