Answer: Cellular transport independent of ATP like osmosis and difussion (Simple and facilitated).
Explanation: The animal affected has a mitochondrial disease that affects its capacity of ATP production, thus, the animal active transport will be afected since require ATP. On the contrary, the animal passive transport will be functional because its independent of ATP, like osmosis which is water transport in favor of concentration gradient and facilitated diffussion of small molecules.
Cellular transport independent of ATP will still function in the affected animal cells.
Cell transport is the method of transporting substances across the membranes of the cells either freely or with the help of the transporters. The transport can be active or passive.
The mitochondria are the cell organelle that stores the energy in the form of the Adenosine triphosphates (ATP), and the disease will affect energy production.
The active transport system will be affected as they require ATP to transport the substances across the membranes while the passive type of the transport system will remain unaffected as they do not require the ATP as the carrier.
Therefore, the passive transport system will remain functional.
