What is the movement of materials across a membrane that requires energy input called?

Active transport requires energy and proteins to move the materials across the cell membrane. This is in contrast to osmosis, which doesn't require energy to move the material.


What happens to the resting membrane potential if ATP was depleted in a nerve cell?

All active transportation of ions would stop and ions would be allowed to run down their concentration gradients, eventually reaching equilibrium. At this stage there would be no more electrochemical potential difference across the cell membrane.
