Active transport Flashcards
1
Q
Active transport
A
Energy used to solutes into or out of cell
Substance are pumped against the concentration gradient from areas of low to high concentration
2
Q
What is required of active transport?
A
Processes, such as maintenance of membrane potential and uptake of glucose by intestinal cells
3
Q
Payactiv transport
A
Pumping solutes by carrier protein, and is directly coupled to hydrolysis of ATP
4
Q
Secondary active transport
A
Relies on ATP to generate electro, chemical gradient and directly drives the active transportY
5
Q
Symport
A
Solutes moving the same direction
6
Q
Anti port
A
Moving opposite direction
7
Q
What are the two types of active transport that employee vessels to import or export substance?
