Which statements best describe the difference between active transport and passive transport?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the correct statements that differentiate active transport from passive transport in biological systems, focusing on their requirements and mechanisms.
Answer
B) Active transport requires ATP. Passive transport does not require ATP.
Statements B and E both correctly describe the differences between active transport and passive transport.
Answer for screen readers
Statements B and E both correctly describe the differences between active transport and passive transport.
More Information
Active transport involves moving substances against a concentration gradient and requires energy, typically in the form of ATP. Passive transport relies on concentration gradients and does not require energy input.
Tips
Avoid confusing the direction of movement for substances; active transport is against, and passive is along the gradient.
