The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.

___ transport moves molecules across the plasma membrane of a cell with the help of transport proteins and energy (atp).
eimsori [14]

Active transport moves molecules across the plasma membrane of a cell with the help of transport proteins and energy (ATP).

Active transport is the means of transport of molecules across the plasma membrane with the help of energy. This method is usually used for the transport of molecule against their concentration gradient, i.e., from lower concentration to higher concentration.

Plasma membrane is the outer layer surrounding the cell. It is made up of lipid bilayer, proteins, carbohydrates and cholesterol. The lipid bilayer is amphipathic since the lipid head is hydrophilic and its tail is hydrophobic. The plasma membrane is semi-permeable in nature.
