Solution
The correct option is D All of the above ∙ Active transport is highly selective and requires special membrane proteins and ATP to perform the uphill transport of molecules.
∙ Facilitated diffusion is highly selective, requires special membrane proteins but does not require energy to do the transport. This transport occurs along the concentration gradient and not against it (like - uphill transport).
