What is Active Transport in Biology about?
Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, requiring energy typically from ATP hydrolysis. It is facilitated by specific carrier proteins, enabling cells to maintain homeostasis, absorb nutrients efficiently, and support functions like nerve signaling. There are two types: primary active transport, which directly uses ATP, and secondary active transport, which utilizes existing electrochemical gradients.
