Question

Give two ways by which we could determine whether active transport is going on

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy is being used up and

transport is occurring from low conc to high conc.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Two ways by which we could determine whether active transport is going on -

1. The concentration gradient - For active transport to take place, the particle should move from the lower concentration of solute to the higher concentration of solute, and should not be vice-versa.
2. Energy involvement - The involvement of energy in this transport is most crucial and requires the source of energy, that is, ATP. The movement of solute from lower concentration to higher concentration requires energy.                                                                                                                

• Active transport is the movement of particle/ion/molecules from lower concentration to higher concentration with the requirement of energy.
