D) pumped
E) ATP-mediated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive transport refers to the movement of molecules across a cellular membrane without the input of energy, such as ATP. This movement can occur down a concentration gradient, which is the natural movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Therefore, the energy for passive transport comes from the gradient itself.
