Active transport is the homeostatic process that requires energy to move particles across the plasma membrane.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Transport in living organisms</h3>
  • Plants and animals use various processes to transport materials from one point to another.
  • There are classified as either passive transport or active transport.
<h3>Active transport  </h3>
  • It is a type of transport in living organisms that involves movement of substances against a concentration gradient through the plasma membrane.
  • It  involves use of energy in form of ATP to aid transport of substances.
<h3>Passive transport</h3>
  • It is a type of transport that does not involve the use of energy to aid movement of substances in living organisms.
  • Passive transport involves free movement of substances and through special types of transporters or carriers.
  • Types of passive transport includes; simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and mass flow among others.
<h3>Types of passive transport</h3><h3>Facilitated diffusion</h3>
  • Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport which involves the diffusion of solutes by use of transport proteins in the plasma membrane.
  • Facilitated diffusion uses transport proteins to transport solutes down their concentration gradient.
<h3>Osmosis  </h3>
  • Osmosis is a special diffusion that involves the movement of water molecules from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are lowly concentrated through a semipermeable membrane.
  • It may also refer to the movement of water molecules from a region of low particle concentration to a region of a high particle concentration.
<h3>Diffusion  </h3>
  • Diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
  • Diffusion involves movement of molecules of substances other than water.

Keywords: Active transport, Passive transport, Diffusion, Osmosis,

The right answer is 1. active transport.


Active transport refers to the passage of an ion or molecule across a membrane against its concentration gradient.

If the process uses chemical energy produced, for example, by the hydrolysis of a nucleotide triphosphate such as adenosine triphosphate, it is called primary active transport.

Active transport is opposed to passive transport, which does not use energy.

1 Both types of succession require the same amount of time to occur.

2 Both types of succession result in greater biodiversity over time.

3 Both types of succession decrease the stability of an ecosystem.

4 Both types of succession have the same starting conditions.

5 Both types of succession eventually lead to a community closer to equilibrium.
