Thank you so muchFirst of all Active Transport means transfer of ions from it's LOWER conc to HIGHER conc AGAINSt the conc gradient. And fluidity of membrane means membrane fluidity refers to the viscosity of the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane or a synthetic lipid membrane
Fluidity of membrane helps in transport of molecules such as water and gaseous particles i.e. diffusion. So if fluidity is affected than diffusion of particles is affected coz they transport from Higher water conc to Lower water conc whereas active transport is opp and also it needs ATP to take place.
So, Active transport is not at all affected by fluidity of membrane.
Sorry for the late reply. Yesterday I saw your ques and I was knowing the answer but wasn't sure so today I asked about this to my Bio teacher and I wrote this answer.
I hope you got it.
