(b) Active transport is the movement of a substance from a region of lower concentration to region of higher concentration i.e., against the concentration gradient. This process involves the movement of free-energy gradient, they require the expenditure of energy from the breakdown of ATP and are, therefore, sensitive to factors affecting metabolism. |
