☑ uses atp
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we recall the definitions of passive and active transport:
- Passive transport: Does not require energy (ATP), moves substances from high to low concentration (down the concentration gradient), e.g., diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion.
- Active transport: Requires energy (ATP), moves substances from low to high concentration (against the concentration gradient), e.g., ion pumps, endocytosis, exocytosis.
Now, let's analyze each option:
- "does not require energy": This is a characteristic of passive transport (a).
- "movement from high to low concentration": This is a characteristic of passive transport (a).
- "movement from low to high concentration": This is a characteristic of active transport (b).
- "does require energy": This is a characteristic of active transport (b).
- "uses ATP": ATP is the energy source for active transport, so this is a characteristic of active transport (b).
