Which of the following statements about active transport is true?

Biology
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It results in a higher concentration of molecules on one side of the membrane.

Explanation:

Active transport is the transport of molecules up the concentration gradient. This means that molecules are going from low density to high density. This is the opposite of natural diffusion. So, it requires ATP to move the molecules this way. Diffusion normally occurs to maintain homeostasis and an equal amount of concentration on both sides of a membrane. But, with active transport, since molecules are moving up the gradient, the opposite happens and the concentrations are unequal.

Cell membrane: Scattered in the lipid bilayer are cholesterol molecules, which help to keep the membrane fluid consistent. Membrane proteins are important for transporting substances across the cell membrane. They can also function as enzymes or receptors. On the extracellular fluid side of a cell membrane, you find carbohydrates.

Cytoplasm: Function of Cytoplasm. The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.

Nucleus: Function of the Nucleus. The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.

Cell wall: The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure, and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
