Researchers conducted a study concerning cellular transport in animal cells affected by mitochondrial

disease. The disease affects an organism's ability to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During their

study, which method of cellular transport still functioned in the affected animal cells?

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.
