The movement of ions against the concentration gradient is called ........

Which of the following statements is correct?
$(I)$ Rapid uptake of ions into the free space is a passive process.
$(II)$ Apoplast is important for passive processes.
$(III)$ Metabolic energy is required in passive processes.
$(IV)$ In the apoplast,passive processes occur through ion channels.

Which of the following is $NOT$ associated with passive transport?

Movement among cells against concentration gradient is called

Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
$I.$ Carrier proteins are needed by both facilitated diffusion and active transport and are sensitive to inhibitors that react with protein side chains.
$II.$ Different types of proteins present in the membrane play a major role in both active as well as passive transport.
$III.$ The carrier proteins needed by facilitated and active transport are specific.
$IV.$ There is no need of energy to pump molecules against a concentration gradient in active transport.
$V.$ Transport rate reaches a saturation point when all the active proteins are used.

Facilitated diffusion in cells is brought about by . . . . . . in the cell membrane.
