Active transport is when a cell membrane protein breaks a high-energy bond (typically ATP into ADP + Pi) in order to move molecule(s) against their concentration gradient.
So to directly answer your question. Active transport can be transporting either in or out of the cell depending on whether the molecule being transported is in higher concentration inside the cell or outside.

What type of transport is used to move lactose into the cell?
Active transport
What are the types of particle transport how particles move into and out of the cell?
The types of particle transport mechanisms by which particles move into and out of the cell are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
What are the similarities between facillitated transport and active transport?
Both facilitated transport and active transport move things in and out of the cell. Both movements also depend on the concentration gradient.
Does sodium move by active transport?
Sodium ions are thought to get into a cell by diffusion through special spores in the membrane and are expelled by a form of active transport .
How does a cell move a molecule that is too large transport proteins?
The cell membrane folds around the molecule.
What types of transport require ATP?
The two types of cell trnsport it Passive Transport and Active Transport. Active Transport does require energy to move into and out of the cell. Passive Transport doesn't require energy to move into and out of the cell. Hope I helped!
What do materials move from in active transport?
They move from the environment into the cell.
What type of transport is used to move lactose into the cell?
Active transport
What are the types of particle transport how particles move into and out of the cell?
The types of particle transport mechanisms by which particles move into and out of the cell are diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
The use of energy to move substances across a cell membrane describes?
Active Transport
What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?
passive. any transport that is diffusion to get into a cell is passive.
How process of how active transport move materials into the cell?
it indicates
What is the definition of active transport?
active transport is an energy reqiuring process in which transport proteins bind with particles and move them through a cell membrane
If the substance entering the cell was in higher concentration inside the cell then outside the cell what type of transport would be required?
It would be active transport, a process which requires a cell to use its own energy (unlike passive transport).
How do transport proteins move substances into and out of the cell?
Active Transport
How do substances get in and out of a cell if they are to big to pass through the cell membrane?
Do you mean how do substances move through a cell membrane if they are too big to transport by passive transport?If so, a cell uses active transport to move large particles in and out of a cell. Active transport includes endocytosis, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis.
What are two ways active transport differs from passive transport?
Active transport is when cells use energy to move things through a cell membrane.Passive transport is when the cell uses no energy to move materials.Active - Specifically uses energy and through a cell membranePassive - Specifically uses no energy and materials
