The correct answer to this question is active transport. This process requires the movement of substances from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration. In other words, this process allows substances to be transported against the concentration gradient. Since it is an active process, it requires an input of energy to take place.

This form of energy is produced within the cells and is called Adenosine triphosphate. While active transport is just a process, it requires the use of carrier proteins to carry out this function. These carriers are also knowns as protein pumps. It is important to note that active transport does not use channel proteins.

That explains why active transport is not the same as facilitated diffusion. The type of energy needed for active transport is cellular energy. In animals, active transport helps move nutrients between cells. Active transport also helps remove unwanted particles from the body.

The answer to this is active transport. Active transport will refer to the movement of the ions or molecules across the cell membrane so that it can reach a region of higher concentration. This cannot be done without the use of various enzymes. At the same time, this requires a lot of energy to do.

One example of active transport is the uptake of glucose that can be found in the intestines. One difference between active transport and passive transport is that passive transport does not need to make use of cellular energy. You can use this as the basis when you are trying to decide what type of transport you are looking at.

Active transport is the particle transport that requires the input of energy from the cell. For the transport to occur, energy is taken from adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP. Active transport plays an important role, for it makes sure that cells have what they need. This includes things such as ions, amino acids, and glucose.

Active transport is also responsible for moving molecules. It moves molecules from a concentration that is high to a concentration that is low. For the molecules to be able to move, work is required. This helps the molecules get into the cell, despite the fact that there is a concentration gradient.

The correct answer to this question is Active transport. For this process to occur, energy is often taken from ATP, which stands for adenosine triphosphate. Active transport is important because it allows cells to obtain the things they need, such as amino acids, glucose, and ions. With active transport, molecules are moved from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

Work is required for the molecules to get into the cell despite the concentration gradient that occurs. There are three ports that the active transport use, including the uniporters, symporters, and antiporters. Uniporters use ATP to move the molecules in

Active transport is the method of particle transport that necessitates the input of energy from the cell. Active transport is a functional process that requires the movement of a substance against a concentration gradient.

In cell biology, active transport refers to the movement of the molecules through the means of particle transport is the term used to identify the approaches to particle transport that entail input of energy from the cell.

The opposite of this is called passive transport. There are two categorizations of active transportation. These include primary active transport, which utilizes ATP, and secondary active transport in human physiology, which is glucose in the intestines.
