Which of the following best explains the difference between passive and active transport across cell membranes?
a. Passive transport does not require chemical energy to occur, active
transport requires energy (such as ATP).
b. Passive transport happens only in water, while active does not require
water.
C. Passive transport moves larger particles, active moves smaller molecules.
D. Passive transport allows whole particles to move, while active breaks
apart particles before they pass.
