The ante is the bet placed before the cards are dealt. The amount of the bet depends on the game limits, it can range from $1 to the hundreds.
An ante in Poker is used to force the action on the table, just like the blinds. Only the blinds are higher then the ante.
Ante's are frequently used in later stages of tournaments & SitnGo's to force action.
Action is forced this way because the pot is bigger pre-flop, attracting more players to bet or raise to claim the pot without going to the flop and the ante's are also decreasing players' stack when not being in the blinds, making them play more often if they don't want to get short stacked by folding blinds/ante's.

"Up the ante" is a poker-derived idiom that means to raise the stakes, to put more at risk, both in poker and in one's personal life. The ante is the enforced bet that poker players must put into the pot before they can play a hand of poker. If you "up the ante," you increase the amount of the bets. Thus, upping the ante means to raise the stakes or increase the risk of a project. You can "ante up" any amount - some people play for pennies, and some for thousands of dollars.
To ante up means to add money to the pot in poker, or to put money into the center of the table. If you ante up one dollar, you add one dollar to the table pot.
I assume you mean "Do you ante up in poker after you look at your cards?" No, you do not. If there is a table ante it is done before the cards are dealt. When you have your cards, you have the option of betting/calling/raising/checking/folding. Thanks and please use English!
