What is called movement of cell against concentration gradient ?
Correct answer: C. Active Transport
- A. Passive Transport
- B. Osmosis
- C. Active Transport
- D. Diffusion
Explanation
Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient and requires energy, usually from ATP, through membrane transport proteins. Osmosis and diffusion are passive processes down a gradient, so students may choose diffusion when they focus on movement across a membrane without considering its direction.
