Both primary and secondary active transport A) generate ATP. B) are based on passive movement of Na⁺ ions. C) include the passive movement of glucose molecules. D) use ATP directly. E) can move solutes against their concentration gradients.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both primary and secondary active transport can move solutes against their concentration gradients. Primary active transport uses ATP directly to move solutes, while secondary active transport harnesses the energy of an ion's concentration gradient to move solutes. Both methods require energy input to move solutes against their concentration gradients. Passive movement of ions and glucose molecules is not involved in active transport.
