Small molecules move through membranes in different ways -- different for different molecules or compounds, that is.
Which of the following is true about such movement through membranes?
A. Active transport operates against a concentration gradient and requires an energy source, such as ATP.
B. Passive diffusion requires no membrane protein and operates along (rather than against) a concentration gradient.
C. Facilitated transport requires a membrane protein and operates along a concentration gradient.
D. All of the above are true.
