Study the properties of various means of short distance transport and choose the correct combination among A, B, C and D
Property | Simple diffusion | Facilitated diffusion | Active transport | |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | Requirement of special membrane proteins. | Yes | Yes | No |
B | Transport saturates | No | No | Yes |
C | Uphill transport | No | No | Yes |
D | Requirement of ATP | Yes | No | Yes |
Only during active transport there is uphill transport with the expenditure of energy or ATP.
During diffusion and facilitated diffusion the transport is down hill and no expenditure of energy or ATP.
