What type of energy is used to move ions across the membrane?
The energy used to move ions across the membrane is primarily derived from ATP, a molecule that stores and provides energy for cellular processes. This process often involves active transport mechanisms, such as ion pumps, which require energy to move ions against their concentration gradient. Additionally, secondary active transport can also utilize the energy from the electrochemical gradients established by primary active transport.
How does secondary active transport work?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
What cells use active transport?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
What perform active transport cells use?
Energy, versus passive in which energy is not used.
What are the different types of cell transport?
active transport -transport against concentration gradient that requires chemical energy passive transport- requires no energy at all
Is energy used in active transport?
ATP is often used as the source of energy during active transport.
Describe the two methods of active transport?
Active transport involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input. Two methods of active transport include primary active transport, where energy from ATP is directly used to move molecules, and secondary active transport, where the movement of one molecule down its gradient provides energy to transport another molecule against its gradient.
Where is energy used in active transport?
in the cells

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.
What is the source of the energy used in active transport?
The energy used in active transport is derived from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is produced through cellular respiration in the mitochondria of cells. ATP provides the necessary energy for the transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient across the cell membrane.
What energy is used during active transport?
ATP
Energy used to fuel active transport?
ATP
How does secondary active transport work?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
Is used during active transport but not passive transport?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used during active transport but not passive transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on diffusion to move substances down their concentration gradient without the need for energy.
What molecule supplies the energy for active transport?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that supplies the energy for active transport in cells. ATP is produced during cellular respiration and carries energy that is used by transport proteins to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
What is only used in active transport?
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.
