Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of active transport: Active transport is a process that moves molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input.

Identify the role of ATP in cellular processes: ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing the necessary energy for various biological functions, including active transport.

Compare ATP with other molecules listed: FADH2, GTP, and NADH are involved in energy transfer and cellular respiration, but they are not the primary energy source for active transport.

Recognize the importance of ATP hydrolysis: During active transport, ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy that powers the transport proteins.

Conclude that ATP is the molecule primarily used as an energy source in active transport, as it directly provides the energy needed for the process.
