Answer:

Active Transport

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement of molecules across a membrane without energy input is known as passive transport. When energy (ATP) is needed, the movement is known as active transport. Active transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
