Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane in the direction against their concentration gradient. It is usually associated with accumulating high concentrations of molecules.

Is energy used in secondary active transport?
Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
What type of transport is used to move lactose into the cell?
Active transport
How is active transport important in the growth of plants?
It imparts and provides control of biochemical Functions.
What substances used to help active transport occur within cells?
Transport Proteins
When would active transport be used by a cell?
Active transport is used when molecules are moved across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, from a low to a high concentration.
Is energy used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
How do you transport plants?
Molecules moves across plasma membrane by passive transport and active transport. ATP or molecules moving down a gradient may provide the energy for active transport. Hydrogen ions are important in active transport in plants.
How are minerals transported by plants?
Plants employ osmosis to move minerals into plant root cells. To transport minerals to the plant proper, energy is required so active transport is employed.
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 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.
What processes in plants require ATP?
There are countless processes in plants that require ATP. A few examples are the building of starch from glucose, active transport of ions across the membranes of cells, and production of sugars in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.
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
