Yes. it has to use energy to go throught the cell membrane

∙ 12y agoYes, active transport requires energy because it moves molecules or ions against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process requires the cell to expend energy in the form of ATP to drive the transport proteins involved in active transport.

No, active transport requires an input of energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to move substances against their concentration gradient. Passive transport, on the other hand, does not require energy and relies on the natural movement of substances down their concentration gradient.
Passive transport does not require energy as it relies on the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. Active transport, on the other hand, requires energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from low concentration to high concentration.
its name is due to the fact that active transport requires energy as opposed to passive transport when no energy is required.
