Active tramsportA. uses energy to pump molecules against the concentration gradientB. is as active processC. is carried out by membrane proteinsD. all of these.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Active transport is the transport of solute linked with some metabolic reaction (or reactions) involving expenditure of energy. The molecules or ions, in active transport, cross a protplasmic membrane (viz, plasma membrane, tonoplast, etc.) against the chemical potential (concentration) gradient. This kind of transport is carried out by membrace proteins.
