ATP
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
3million
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that supplies the energy for active transport in cells. ATP is produced during cellular respiration and carries energy that is used by transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
in the cells
The energy used in active transport is derived from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is produced through cellular respiration in the mitochondria of cells. ATP provides the necessary energy for the transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient across the cell membrane.
ATP
A secondary active transporter. An example is Na+/glucose transporter. It has to move the glucose in but uses the sodium gradient to push it in instead of directly using ATP.Na gradient was made with Na/K ATPase which uses ATP (therefore it is called primary active transporter). In secondary active transport one molecule must have a higher gradient and uses ATP indirectly.
