Active transport
A) follows osmotic pressure gradients.
B) can move substances along their concentration gradient.
C) does not require metabolic energy (ATP) .
D) involves vesicle formation.
E) requires ATP.
Active Transport
Transport of molecules across the membrane of a cell from areas where they are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated, which demands energy.
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells, facilitating various biochemical processes.
Concentration Gradient
A difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance, which drives the passive movement of particles from an area of high to low concentration.
- Recognize the role of ATP in active transport processes.
- Distinguish between the processes that require and do not require cellular energy.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Active transport requires ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient, which is not in accordance with osmotic pressure gradients, does not happen along the concentration gradient, does not occur without energy, and does not necessarily involve vesicle formation.
