Which of the following processes draws energy directly from the hydrolysis of ATP?
simple diffusion
facilitated diffusion
primary active transport
secondary active transport
Option C-Primary Active transport.
Simple diffusion and Facilitated diffusion are passive transports in which ATP is not used.
Simple diffusion-diffusion of substances through a membrane without requiring any help from other substances.
Facilitated Diffusion-Requires helps of Tranmembrane Proteins For Transport(But not ATP)
primary active transport & secondary active transport requires energy for the Transport of substances(Active Transport)
Primary active transport- processes draws energy directly from the hydrolysis of ATP.For Example-Na+−K+ pump driven by ATP hydrolysis
Secondary active transport- transport of molecules across the cell membrane utilizing energy in forms other than ATP-By using an Symport or Antiport
(Symport- 2 compounds move simultaneously across a membrane in same direction
Antiport-2 compounds move simultaneously across a membrane in opposite direction)
.For example Transport of Glucose in PCT(SGLUT transporters move glucose, along with 2 Na +ions )
