Active Transport Involves All of the Following Except The

Question

Active transport involves all of the following except the
A)diffusion of solute through the lipid bilayer of a membrane.
B)pumping of solutes across the membrane.
C)hydrolysis of ATP.
D)transport of solute against a concentration gradient.
E)specific transport protein in the membrane.

Accepted Answer

Active transport involves the pumping of solutes across the membrane, hydrolysis of ATP, and transport of solute against a concentration gradient, as well as the presence of specific transport proteins in the membrane. Diffusion of solute through the lipid bilayer is characteristic of passive transport, not active transport.
