Active transport

Active transport requires energy, typically ATP
In active transport the molecules are forced against the concentration gradient meaning they move from low concentration to high concentration.
In active transport a protein pump is used to move the molecules against the concentration gradient.
The protein pump is like a ball shooter, it shoots the molecules in the lower concentration to the higher concentration one by one.
