Answer:

Molecules which move against the concentration gradient across the cell membrane employ the mechanism of active transportation.

Explanation:

Normally, permitted molecules moves across the cell membrane of the cell by the process of diffusion and osmosis. This is used when molecules move from hypertonic region to hypotonic region (if ions) and hypotonic to hypertonic (if water). This is a passive transportation which do not require the expense of energy from the cell.

In contrast, when molecules move in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient, that is ions moving from hypotonic region to hypertonic region, they implore the expense of energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the involvement of the membrane carrier proteins. This is called active transport.

soldi70 [24.7K]
If you are operating your powerboat near a shoreline, what's important for you to do if you want to help prevent erosion is maintain wake speed to avoid swerving in a counter-clockwise direction. This means that you will run the boat at the slowest possible speed if you want to avoid erosion of soil on the shoreline.
