Document Summary

Active transport requires a direct or indirect input of energy derived from atp hydrolysis energy requires to move substances against their concentration gradients. All types of active transport depends on membrane transport proteins. All types of proteins are specific (one transporter for one substance being transported) The same protein that transports substance also hydrolyzes atp to power the transport directly. Transporter proteins do not break down atp. Instead, use of a favorable concentration gradient of substance as their energy source. 3 na+ out, 2 k+ in for every pump cycle. The sodium-potassium pump is essential for active transport in all animal cells (but not plants or most microbes) 3 na+ ions bind to the pump on the cytoplasmic side. Secondary active transport (always has a driving ion) Cotransported solute moves through membrane channel in same direction as driving ion. Driving ion moves through membrane channel in one direction, providing energy for active transport of another molecule in another direction.
