Answer:

Active Transport is the movement of molecules across a semipermeable membrane not reaching equilibrium. Usually requires protein and energy to perform.

Step-by-step explanation:

Active transport is when a molecule moves against its concentration gradient, so it always requires energy. Understanding that active transport always requires energy means the only statement which mentions the usage of energy is the one that correctly summarizes active transport.
