Active transport
= movement of molecules
against
a
concentration gradient
using
carrier proteins
, requiring
ATP hydrolysis
Coupled with
the
hydrolysis
of
ATP
Co-transport
= Movement of two molecules, one going
down
their concentration gradient the other going
against
the concentration gradient
Absorption of Glucose via the
small intestine
/
ileum
Here
sodium
and
potassium
ions are pumped out of the
epithelial cell
by
active transport
into the
blood
leaving a
lower concentration
in the cell.
This causes these ions to move
in
from the
lumen
by
facilitated diffusion
, which at the same time brings
glucose
and
amino acids
into the cell.
These then
diffuse
from a
high concentration
in the
epithelial cell
to a
low concentration
in the
blood.
