The movement of a substance across a cell membrane against its concentration or electrochemical gradient.Group of answer choicesfacilitated diffusionactive transportosmosispassive transportdiffusion
Solution
The movement of a substance across a cell membrane against its concentration or electrochemical gradient is known as active transport. This process requires energy because it is moving substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, which is against the natural diffusion process.
