Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
Active transport
Transport Proteins
Active transport is used when molecules are moved across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, from a low to a high concentration.
Bulk transporter
Transporters are the process of active and chemical energy. This is in the body.

ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
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.
Energy
The glucose transporter is a membrane bound protein that binds to glucose and mediates it's transport into or out of the cell.
The process is called active transport, and unlike diffusion it uses energy.
Bulk Transport is an example of active transport. The process by which amoeba engulfs its food and secretes is a type of active transport. Amoeba forms false feet like pseudopodia and engulf food.Active and Passive transport both are related with plasma membrane. Active Transport is the transport of food across plasma membrane with expenditure of energy.
