Question

The main difference between active and passive transport across cell membrane is that: (A) active transport is more rapid than passive transport (B) passive transport is non-selective (C) passive transport is due to the concentration gradient across the cell membrane where as active transport is due to metabolic energy (D) passive transport is confined to anions, while acrive transport is confined to cations only

Passive transport does not utilizes energy while active transport utilizes energy: comes from ATP.

Q. The main difference between active and passive transport across cell membrane is that:

active transport is more rapid than passive transport

passive transport is non-selective

passive transport is due to the concentration gradient across the cell membrane where as active transport is due to metabolic energy

passive transport is confined to anions, while acrive transport is confined to cations only

Passive transport does not utilizes energy while active transport utilizes energy : comes from ATP.
