Active transport

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Uphill transport refers to the movement of substances from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration.This process requires energy in the form of $ATP$.Active transport is the only mechanism among the given options that moves molecules against the concentration gradient,which is known as uphill transport.Diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive processes that move molecules along the concentration gradient (downhill transport).

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ Passive transport	$(p)$ Movement from higher concentration to lower concentration, no energy required
$(b)$ Active transport	$(q)$ Movement along the concentration gradient, requiring carrier proteins
$(c)$ Facilitated diffusion	$(r)$ Movement against the concentration gradient, requiring energy
$(d)$ Osmosis	$(s)$ Diffusion of solvent molecules across a semi-permeable membrane

Which of the following processes shows uphill transport?
