Active Transport
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Active transport moves a substance against its concentration gradient, low to high, requiring the cell to spend energy, usually from ATP.
Show
A cell importing a nutrient already more concentrated inside than outside must spend ATP to force that import.
Watch for
Active transport is defined by direction relative to the gradient — facilitated transport also uses proteins but spends no energy.
