Question

Which of the following is not an example of active transport.

Answer 1

Both A and B because endocytosis require energy 

Answer 2

Answer: Both A and B

Explanation:

Active Transport uses ATP or energy for molecules to move against the concentration gradient when crossing the cell membrane

Passive Transport requires no energy as molecules or solutes will move down the concentration gradient when crossing the cell membrane

During Facillitated diffusion molecules attach to a carrier protein and move down the concentration gradient and therefore requires no energy. This is passive transport.

During Osmosis, water will cross the membrane and move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution and also requires no energy. This is passive transport.

Finally, during endocytosis, this is a type of active transport whereby large particles or parts of cells are moved across the cell membrane. The engulfing of large particles requires energy (ATP).
