Transport proteins
Active transport
Active transport is the process that drives molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient, requiring energy input in the form of ATP. This process allows cells to accumulate substances they need in higher concentrations than their surroundings.

Diffusion. With the need of energy, it would be called active transport.
Some substances that help in active transport include ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides the energy needed for transport processes, and carrier proteins, which facilitate the movement of molecules or ions across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient. Sodium-potassium pumps are an example of a system that actively transports sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane.
Carrier proteins facilitate active transport by moving molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. They require energy in the form of ATP to transport substances across the membrane.
Active transport, which requires energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane. This process involves specific protein pumps that bind to the molecule being transported, consuming ATP to change conformation and move the molecule across the membrane.
Active transport is a process in which cells use energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration, across the cell membrane. This is achieved by using specialized proteins called pumps that actively transport the substances across the membrane, requiring energy in the form of ATP.
Active transport is the movement of materials across a membrane that requires energy input, typically in the form of ATP. This process allows cells to move molecules against their concentration gradient, ensuring the proper balance of ions and molecules inside and outside the cell.
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are similar in that they both involve the movement of substances across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins. However, facilitated diffusion does not require energy, while active transport does require energy in the form of ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.
Active transport
Energy-requiring process by which substances move across the plasma membrane against a concentration gradient.
Carrier proteins in active transport actively pump molecules or ions against their concentration gradient across a cell membrane using energy from ATP. They allow specific substances to be moved across the membrane in a controlled manner, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis and regulate cell function.
Electrochemical gradient is used to move substances through a membrane in active transport.
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.
Active transport and facilitated diffusion are both mechanisms used by cells to move substances across the cell membrane. Both processes require the use of specific proteins embedded in the cell membrane to facilitate the movement of substances. However, the key difference between the two is that active transport requires energy input from the cell to move substances against their concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion does not require energy and moves substances down their concentration gradient.
