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.

∙ 12y agoDuring passive transport, particles are transported from areas of high concentration to low concentration. Of course, this does not require any ENERGY. Thus, during active transport, particles are transported from low to high concentration, going against the concentration gradient (the difference in concentration across a space). That means, active transport requires energy or ATP, the energy currency of a cell, generally produced in the mitochondria by breaking down organic compounds.
SIMPLIFIED ANSWER:
- Active transport requires energy, and passive transport doesn't.

Is used during active transport but not passive transport?
Energy
What requires ATP cellular energy?
Active Transport
What is the Method of movement that requires the expenditure of ATP molecules is?
active transport
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.
Is diffusion an act of active transport?
if you mean that active transport is an act of diffusion, than yes it is.
Is energy used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
What are synonyms of active transport?
There are actually only a few different synonyms for the word active transport. These synonyms include active, act, and transport.
Is used during active transport but not passive transport?
Energy
Which type of transport is used to move a molecule for a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration?
active transport
Is energy used in secondary active transport?
Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
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.
What processes can take place in a root hair cell when oxygen is not available?
active transport and osmosis
What type of transport is used to move lactose into the cell?
Active transport
What is used to move a substance through a membrane in active transport?
Electrochemical gradient is used to move substances through a membrane in active transport.
Does passive transport requires large amounts of energy?
No. only active transport does
Where is energy used in active transport?
in the cells
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
