Solution

Active transport:

  1. The transport in which energy is required for the movement of molecules is known as active transport.
  2. The movement of molecules takes place from low concentration to high concentration i.e. against the concentration gradient.
  3. Active transport also requires special membrane proteins and it is highly selective as well.
