Cotransport is a process where two different molecules or ions are simultaneously transported across a membrane. This process is advantageous to living organisms because it allows for the coupling of the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient with the movement of molecules down their concentration gradient, resulting in the efficient transport of substances into or out of cells.
