Question

How is energy expanded in active transport

Answer 1

Expansion of energy in active transport:

• Active transport is a transport process that involves movement of molecules between regions through a membrane against the concentration gradient.

• It is homeostatic process which means it’s a biological process in which functions of the body are regulated to achieve internal balance.

• Active transport uses metabolic energy ATP to transport molecules across a membrane.
• Generally, metal ions are transported across cell membrane by active transport.

• Metal ions are transported with the help of ion pumps and are distributed through the body.
