question 74

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements regarding the active transport of molecules across cell membranes is correct?

• A)Both primary and secondary active transport are dependent upon energy derived from ATP
• B)In secondary active-transport systems in which Na ions are bound to carriers, the actively transported solute always follows Na ions across the membrane
• C)In secondary active-transport systems in which Na ions are bound to carriers, the actively transported solute always moves across the membrane in the direction opposite of Na ion movement
• D)Both primary and secondary active transport are dependent upon energy derived from ATP and in secondary active-transport systems in which Na ions are bound to carriers, the actively transported solute always follows Na ions across the membrane are correct
• E)Both primary and secondary active transport are dependent upon energy derived from ATP and in secondary active-transport systems in which Na ions are bound to carriers, the actively transported solute always moves across the membrane in the direction opposite of Na ion movement are correct
