Question

Difference between primary active transport and secondary active transport

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The active transport of molecules across cell membranes is one of the major factors on molecular level for keeping homeostasis within the body. This kind of transport requires energy as they transport molecules against their concentration gradient. It is divided into two types according to the source of energy used, called primary active transport and secondary active transport. In primary active transport, the energy is derived directly from the breakdown of ATP. In the secondary active transport, the energy is derived secondarily from energy that has been stored in the form of ionic concentration differences between the two sides of a membrane.
