Question

When in solution, a molecule that moves slowly across an artificial membrane moves rapidly across a plasma membrane. This molecule rapidly enters the cell regardless of whether its concentration is higher inside or outside the cell. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most likely to be responsible for the movement of the molecule across a plasma membrane?a. passive transport
b. active transport
c. exocytosis
d. phagocytosis

Answer 1

Answer:

b. active transport

Explanation:

Active transport -

It is the movement of the molecules across the membrane via a region of lower concentration towards the region of higher concentration , and in some cases , the flow is independent of the concentration .Its is known as active transport .

This process needs some amount of energy in the form of cellular energy .

Hence , the correct term for the given statement is active transport .
