Active transport is not spontaneous because it requires energy input to move substances against their concentration gradient. This process is driven by specific transporter proteins in the cell membrane that utilize ATP to pump molecules across the membrane. Unlike passive transport, which occurs spontaneously with the concentration gradient, active transport is a non-spontaneous process.
