- secondary active transport depends on which of the following principals a. sodium is pumped pout of the cells against a concentration gradient by [primary active transport b. sodium moves out the cells with a concentration gradient c. primary active transport is necessary to pump sodium into the cell from higher to lower concentration d. diffusion causes sodium to move our of the cellarrow_forwardWould it be possible for small ions to passively diffuse (simple diffusion) across a selectively permeable membrane? Why?
