Energy for primary active transport comes from ATP molecules. ATP is produced by the mitochondria. e.g. Na+/K+ ATPases are archetypal primary active transporters and they transport 3 Na+ ions out of cells and 2 K+ ions into cells by hydrolyzing one molecule of ATP. Energy for secondary active transport is stored in an established concentration gradient of ions across the cell membrane and drives transport with the tendency of ions to move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. e.g. Na+/glucose secondary transporters use the Na+ gradient (higher outside cells than inside) established by Na+/K+ ATPases to transport a molecule of glucose along with a sodium ion into cells.

What energy is used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
Why is the term 'equilibrium' used with passive but not active transport?
I think because passive transport doesn't require energy and active does.
What means of particle transport requires input of energy in a cell?
Active transport is the term used to define the means of particle transport that requires input of energy from the cell. The opposite of this would be passive transport.
A cell must expend energy to transport substances using?
Active transport is the type of transport where a cell must expend energy. These are endocytosis, exocytosis, and the sodium-potassium pump.
What type of transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region to a high concentration?
active transport
What is the source of the energy used in active transport?
The source of the energy used in active transport is the electrochemical gradient. Another possible source of energy for active transport is the breakdown of ATP molecules.
Is energy used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
What molecule supplies the energy for active transport?
ATP supplies the energy for active transport.
Is energy used in secondary active transport?
Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
What energy is used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
Is used during active transport but not passive transport?
Energy
Where is energy used in active transport?
in the cells
What energy is used during active transport?
ATP
Energy used to fuel active transport?
ATP
What cells use active transport?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
What perform active transport cells use?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
Why is the term 'equilibrium' used with passive but not active transport?
I think because passive transport doesn't require energy and active does.
