Answer 1

K

The Sodium-Potassium Pump. Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes "uphill" - against a concentration gradient. ... In active transport, as carrier proteins are used to move materials against their concentration gradient, these proteins are known as pumps.

Answer 2

Answer:

its passive transport
