Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Active transport is an energy dependent process Reason: Ions are transported across the membrane along their concentration gradient

Step-by-step solution

A few ions or molecules are transported across the membrane against their concentration gradient, i.e., from lower to the higher concentration. Such a transport is an energy dependent process, in which ATP is utilised and is called active transport, e.g., Na+/K+ Pump.
