Question

Active transport is characterised by (A) requirement of special membrane proteins (B) highly selective nature (C) requirement of ATP energy (D) all of these.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Active transport is uphill movement of materials across the membrane where the solute particles move against their chemical concentration or electro-chemical gradient. Energy is required for the process. It is obtained from ATP. Active transport occurs in case of both ions and non-electrolytes. It requires special membrane proteins which function as pumps for the transport of substances.
