Final answer:
Active transport of various materials in plants at the cellular level requires ATP, carrier proteins, and membrane pumps. Passive diffusion is not involved.
Step-by-step explanation:
Active transport of various materials in plants at the cellular level requires ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), carrier proteins, and membrane pumps.
However, it does not require passive diffusion.
Passive diffusion refers to the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the expenditure of cellular energy.
Active transport, on the other hand, involves the movement of substances across the membrane using energy from ATP.
