Which transport process requires the use of a cell's energy?
Adi S.
Which process uses ATP to pump molecules and ions across the cell membrane
Mystique T.
Active transport is thermodynamically unfavorable, what best describes how this process occurs? transport of hydrophobic molecules. transport of a molecule or ion across a membrane, with the species going from a greater concentration to a lesser concentration. transport of hydrophilic molecules. absolute requirement for ATP hydrolysis, and light energy or ion gradient energy will not work. the tight coupling of an input of energy to drive a thermodynamically unfavorable reaction.
