B3 1.2 Active transport

?
what is active transport?
the movement of substances against a concentration gradient and/or across a cell membrane using energy
1 of 5
what energy does active transport use?
energy released in respiration
2 of 5
what can be absorbed by the cell in active transport?
ions, from dilute solutions, and other substances such as sugar
3 of 5
give two examples of active transport
root cells absorb mineral ions from the dilute solutions in the soil / gulcose can be reabsorbed in the kidney tubules by active transport
4 of 5
why does active transport require energy?
because the particles are being absorbed against a concentration gradient
