Solution

The correct option is A True
Active transport is usually associated with accumulating high concentrations of molecules that the cell needs such as ions, glucose, and amino acids. The processes use chemical energy for this, it comes from the hydrolysis of the ATP molecule which maintains the electrochemical gradient. Hence ATP is required for active transport.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
