The description that best identifies the type of cellular transport being depicted in the image would be that of active transport because energy is being used to move molecules against a concentration gradient.
There are basically 2 types of cellular transports:
- Passive
- Active
Passive cellular transports are those that do not require energy in any form. They include osmosis, the movement of water molecules from the region of high to low water potential via a semi-permeable membrane, and simple/facilitated diffusion, the movement of molecules from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.
Active transports are those movements of materials in and out of the cell that requires the expedition of energy in the form of ATP. It is usually the movement of materials against their concentration gradients. Examples include vesicle transport, ion pumps, etc.
In the illustration, the direction of movement of the molecules (by the arrow) indicates that it is against the concentration gradient. Also, the burning of ATP gives further credence that is an active system of cellular transportation.
