To move substances against a concentration or an electrochemical gradient, the cell must use energy. This energy is harvested from ATP that is generated through cellular metabolism. Active transport mechanisms, collectively called pumps or carrier proteins, work against electrochemical gradients. With the...
Definition: The “uphill” transport of substances Table of Contents Active transport is a type of cellular transport in which substances (e.g. ions, glucose, and amino acids) are transported across a biological membrane towards the region that already contains a lot of such substances. Because...
To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, the cell must use energy. This energy is harvested from ATP generated through the cell’s metabolism. Active transport mechanisms, collectively calledpumps, work against electrochemical gradients. Small substances constantly pass through...
Active Transport -A considerable portion of the energy used by cells in their daily activities is devoted to providing the energy to keep active transport working. -The use of energy enables cells to concentrate substances in a particular location, even when the forces of diffusion might tend to...

Cellular Transport Cellular transport moves substances within the cell and moves substances into and out of the cell There are 2 types: Passive Transport Active Transport Passive Transport These types of transport do not require energy Diffusion Facilitated Diffusion Osmosis ...
(or membrane), meaning the cell moves materials from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as its energy source to move substances in and out of the cell membranes. Passive transport, on the other hand, is the movement of...
