The correct option is this: PROTEINS PUSH MOLECULES THROUGH THE CELL MEMBRANE.
An active transport is a type of transport in the living system, which requires an energy to occur, because the movement of the molecule involved is usually against the concentration gradient. The energy form used in this case is ATP. Active transport usually requires carrier proteins.
