Primary active transport is defined as utilizing energy in the form of ATP to transport molecules across a membrane against their concentration gradient. This means moving from a low concentration to a high concentration.

What is a good sentence for Active Transport?
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
Distinguish between active and passive transport?
Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
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).
Is carrier protiens active or passive transport?
it is active
What is secondary active transport?
yes
Differences between primary and secondary active transport?
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
3 examples of active transport?
Primary Active Transport Secondary Active Transport Exocytosis/Endocytosis
What is an example of primary active transport?
Na+-K+ ATPase pumps
What moves up a concentration gradient and requires a carrier?
Primary Active Transport.
How does secondary active transport work?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
The Na-K pump is an example of active transport?
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.
What is a good sentence for Active Transport?
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
What are two types of cellular transport that do not require energy?
Passive transport never requires energy - hence the name passive. Active transport requires the input of energy. Two types of active transport are; primary (using pumps) and secondary (using anti or symports).
Is testosterone a passive transport or an active transport?
it is an ACTIVE transport.
Is an active transport active or passive?
It has is in the name. Active Transport
What requires ATP cellular energy?
Active Transport
What is it called when molecules uses energy to move across a semipermeable membrane?
Active transport
