Primary and secondary active trasnport both

A

Generate ATP

B

Use ATP directly

C

Can move solutes against their concentration gradient

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

In primary active transport the energy is derived directly from the breakdown of ATP . In the secondary active transport, the energy is derived secondarily from the energy that has been stored in the form of ionic concentration difference between the two sides of a membrane. But in this, the molecule moves from the region of low conc. to high conc. against the conc. gradient
