Types Of Active Transport [repack]

Secondary transport is further divided into two sub-types based on the direction of movement:

Carriers that utilize the kinetic energy of one molecule moving down its gradient to pull another molecule up its gradient. types of active transport

), which uses inward sodium movement to eject calcium from cardiac cells. Summary of Active Transport Types Transport Type Energy Source Direction of Transport Classic Biological Example Direct ATP Hydrolysis Against gradient Sodium-Potassium Pump Symport (Secondary) Ion Gradient (Same direction) One down gradient, one against Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Antiport (Secondary) Ion Gradient (Opposite direction) One down gradient, one against Sodium-Calcium Exchanger Bulk Transport: Active Transport via Vesicles Secondary transport is further divided into two sub-types
