Active transport processes, such as sodium-potassium pumps and protein pumps in cells, require ATP to move molecules across cell membranes against their concentration gradient. Muscle contraction also relies on ATP for movement in muscle cells.
The process that changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds to it is called conformational change. This change in shape allows the protein to either open a channel for the particle to pass through or undergo a rotational movement to transfer the particle across the membrane.
Carrier proteins can facilitate both passive and active transport across a cell membrane. In passive transport, carrier proteins help molecules move down their concentration gradient without the need for energy input. In active transport, carrier proteins use energy to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.
The two general types of transport used by cells are passive transport, which does not require energy and includes processes like diffusion and osmosis, and active transport, which requires energy and involves processes like protein pumps and vesicle transport.
Active transport does not require a hydrostatic pressure gradient specifically, as it utilizes energy from ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient. However, the presence of gradients (such as concentration or electrical) can affect the efficiency of active transport processes.
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated

Active transport processes, such as sodium-potassium pumps and protein pumps in cells, require ATP to move molecules across cell membranes against their concentration gradient. Muscle contraction also relies on ATP for movement in muscle cells.
Yes, active transport requires a membrane because it involves the movement of molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, which requires energy expenditure. This process is facilitated by specific transport proteins embedded within the membrane.
They are two major active transport proteins.
It's either a passive or active transport.
Active Transport
The process that changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds to it is called conformational change. This change in shape allows the protein to either open a channel for the particle to pass through or undergo a rotational movement to transfer the particle across the membrane.
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient. That means than it takes energy to drive protein pumps to move something across the cell membrane from a low concentration to a higher one.
Active transport occurs through carrier proteins that pump molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP. These carrier proteins undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
Carrier proteins can facilitate both passive and active transport across a cell membrane. In passive transport, carrier proteins help molecules move down their concentration gradient without the need for energy input.
