Secondary active transport uses the energy stored in ion concentration gradients to transport substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. This process is carried out through the coupling of the movement of one substance down its concentration gradient, with the movement of another substance against its concentration gradient. Examples of secondary active transport systems include the sodium-glucose symporter and the sodium-calcium exchanger.
The difference between primary and secondary transport is whether the transporter directly or indirectly uses energy Primary active transport: ATP is used directly, and the energy comes from the breakage of a high energy phosphate bond. Secondary active transport: ATP is not used directly, and the energy comes from a gradient that was created by a primary active transport system that used ATP.
Primary active transport directly uses ATP by hydrolysis
Secondary transport uses an electrochemical gradient across a membrane initiated by primary active transport.
Primary active transport is the process in which ions are moved across cell membranes against the electrochemical gradient using energy supplied directly be ATP. The action of the sodium-potassium pump is an important example of primary active transport.
Secondary active transport is indirectly driven by primary transport. In the sodium-potassium pump, by pumping against the gradient, energy is stored in the ion gradient. Then, just as water pumped uphill can do the work as it flows back down, (think water wheel or turbine), a substance pumped across the membrane can do work as it leaks back, propelled downhill along the concentration gradient.
1\ In primary active process:
It required energy (ATP) to move the solute up the concentration gradient.
***
2\ In secondary active process:
It required no energy.. But instead, it needs:
active
Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
yes
Active transport processes, such as primary active transport, secondary active transport, and vesicular transport, require the cell to expend energy in the form of ATP. These processes enable the movement of molecules or ions against their concentration gradients or across membranes.
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
active
facilitated diffusion, secondary active transport and active transport
yes
Yes, any form of active transport uses energy.
By secondary active transport with Hydrogen.
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
secondary active transport
yes
it's an example of secondary active transport.
Active transport involves the movement of molecules against their concentration gradient, requiring energy input. Two methods of active transport include primary active transport, where energy from ATP is directly used to move molecules, and secondary active transport, where the movement of one molecule down its gradient provides energy to transport another molecule against its gradient.
passive or active transport. Passive transport does not require energy input and includes processes like diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Active transport requires energy input and includes processes like primary active transport and secondary active transport.
