Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Active transport requires energy because it is not a passive process. The molecule has to go against the concentration gradient. Hence it requires energy to be carried by the carrier proteins.

The energy is used is ATP, which comes from respiration

The chemical equation shown represents photosynthesis.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: <u>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy. </u>

This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.

This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.

This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.
