Which of the following statements about diffusion is correct? It is an active process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. It is very rapid over long distances. It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. It is a passive process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Which feature is typical of primary active transport? The transport protein must cross to the correct side of the membrane before the solute can bind to it. The transport protein is irreversibly phosphorylated as transport takes place. The transport protein catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP. The solute moves against the concentration gradient. A concentration gradient provides the energy to move substances against their concentration gradient
