Step 1

Active transport mechanisms are those that require the use of energy in the form of ATP. This can include moving ions and molecules against their concentration gradient, or to move particles that are too large to pass through the plasma membrane. Show more…

Key Concepts

Membrane Transport

Membrane transport encompasses the various methods by which substances move across the cell membrane. It includes both passive methods, such as simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, and energy-dependent processes like active transport, which require cellular energy to move substances against their natural gradients.

Active Transport

Active transport is a cellular process that requires energy, often in the form of ATP, to move molecules or ions across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient. This mechanism is essential for maintaining concentration differences and for the uptake or expulsion of substances, exemplified by processes like ion pumping and phagocytosis.
