The cell mechanism of "active transport" involves the transport of insoluble chemicals across the membrane with protein acting as the carrier.

Respuesta :

The above statement is FALSE.

Facilitated diffusion happens when large, insoluble membrane compounds are diffused for easy transportation. However, this transport does not require energy, therefore, it is a passive transport.

Active transport requires energy when moving molecules against a concentration agent. It requires for specific membrane transport proteins. Only a certain type of protein can move a certain type of substance.

The three main types of Active Transport are:
1) Sodium-Potassium Pump
2) Endocytosis
3) Exocytosis
