Question

Write the difference between primary active transport and secondary active transport (in a tabular column)

Answer 1

Answer:

• Primary 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.
• In primary active transport, the carrier protein uses energy directly from ATP through hydrolysis. In secondary active transport, it uses energy stored in the concentration gradients of ions. Give and explain three examples of primary active transport.
