Problem 14: Energy requirements for transport

Correct!

The rate of transport of a substance into a cell is drastically reduced when the formation of ATP is blocked. The transport system must be a form of:

A.

active transport

Yes, a requirement for ATP implies that this is an active transport system, capable of moving molecules against a concentration gradient.

B. simple diffusion
C. facilitated diffusion
D. both active transport and simple diffusion
E. both simple and facilitated diffusion
