The sodium potassium pump is an example of active transport
Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 293 People
Example of active transport would be
a.osmosis
b.diffusion
c. sodium-potassium pumps
d.facilitated diffusion
Answered by admin @
Answer:
c. sodium-potassium pump
Explanation:
a. osmosis - this is a type at of passive transport. It is diffusion specific to water molecules.
b. diffusion - this is also a type of passive transport. Molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration down a concentration gradient. This is passive transport and does not require energy.
c. A sodium-potassium pump is a type of active transport, it uses energy to move ions across the membrane. They cannot pass through the membrane because they are charged.
d, facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport through which substances are transported through proteins in the plasma membrane.
