Active transport is the process by which cells move substances across their membranes against their concentration gradient, requiring energy, typically in the form of ATP. This mechanism is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, allowing cells to uptake nutrients and ions while expelling waste products. Active transport is crucial for functions such as nutrient absorption in the intestines and ion regulation in nerve and muscle cells.
