The movement of molecules against their concentration gradient is called ________.

A) active transport
B) diffusion
C) endocytosis
D) facilitated diffusion
E) osmosis

Active Transport

The migration of molecules from a lower concentration zone to a higher concentration zone across a cell's membrane, an action that requires energy.

Concentration Gradient

The gradual difference in the concentration of solutes in a solution between two regions, often leading to the movement of molecules along the gradient during diffusion.

Molecules

The smallest unit of a chemical compound that can exist while retaining the properties of that compound.

  • Acquire knowledge of the diverse methods of membrane transport and their unique attributes, such as active transport, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, phagocytosis, and endocytosis.
