Question

Passive transport is the net movement of substances down a concentration gradient that requires metabolic energy. Active transport is the movement of substances up a concentration gradient that does not require energy.________

Answer 1

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive transport moves molecules from one side of the membrane to the other with the energy of the chemical gradient (or concentration gradient). Otherwise, active transport uses the hydrolyzation of ATP to gain energy in order to move molecules across the membrane without taking into account the gradient.
