What is active transport in chemistry?
May 16, 2020 · Active transport is most commonly accomplished by a transport protein that undergoes a change in shape when it binds with the cell’s “fuel,” a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Feb 2, 2023 · Active transport is an energy or ATP-dependent, cellular transport process that selectively moves substances from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration or ‘against the concentration gradient’, with the help of a membrane protein.
Moving substances up their electrochemical gradients requires energy from the cell. Active transport uses energy stored in ATP to fuel this transport. Active transport of small molecular-sized materials uses integral proteins in the cell membrane to move the materials: These proteins are analogous to pumps.
Mar 1, 2024 · The active transport mechanism is crucial for transporting important molecules and ions across cell membranes, ensuring cells can carry out necessary functions. In contrast to passive transport, active transport requires energy expenditure in the form of ATP to move substances across the membrane.
Sep 12, 2022 · Active transport is an energy-driven process where membrane proteins transport molecules across cells, mainly classified as primary or secondary, based on how energy is coupled to fuel these mechanisms.

Sep 21, 2021 · The primary active transport system uses ATP to move a substance, such as an ion, into the cell, and often at the same time, a second substance is moved out of the cell. The sodium-potassium pump, an important pump in animal cells, expends energy to move potassium ions into the cell and a different number of sodium ions out of the cell (Figure ...
