What is Active Transport: Types and Examples about?
Active transport is the movement of substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy. It accumulates molecules cells need, like ions and nutrients, using two types: primary active transport directly uses ATP, while secondary transport uses ion gradients created by primary transport. It is carried out by membrane proteins that can be inhibited from transporting molecules by poisons that destroy or plug the proteins.
