active transport

Cards (3)

  • active transport
    movement of molecules against their concentration gradient. moving from an area of low concentration to an area f high concentration. requires energy from the cell
  • energy for active transport comes from cellular respiration which takes place in the mitocondria via braking down glucose to release energy
  • active transport (full)

    the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, and requiring energy from cellular respiration
