Answer:
Any process that involves active transport most often involves the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis.
Explanation:
Active transport in cells is a form of transport which involves the transport of solute molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient using energy provided from some chemical reaction occuring in the cell.
Active transport is an endergonic (energy-requiring) process and therefore, must proceed only when coupled to an exergonic (energy-releasing) process such as the breakdown of ATP, an oxidation reaction, absorption of sunlight, etc.
In many instances in cell, such as the Na/K pump, ATP hydrolysis is the the common exergonic reaction to which active transport is coupled to.
Answer:
Energy:
The rate of movement per unit time of an object relative to all the other objects in the universe.
Generally we have it relative to the road on earth. For instants, you could travel 80 miles per hour relative to the road.
