Class: ActiveTransport

active transport is the movement of a substance across a membrane against its concentration gradient (from low to high concentration) and requires chemical energy.

URI: sio:ActiveTransport

Parents

• is_a: MembraneTransport - membrane transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane.

Children

• PrimaryActiveTransport - primary active transport, also called direct active transport, directly uses energy to transport molecules across a membrane.
• SecondaryActiveTransport - secondary active transport or co-transport uses electrochemical potential difference created by pumping ions out of the cell to transport molecules across a membrane.
