Do Transporters Require Atp?

In contrast active transport requires energy (usually from ATP hydrolysis) to transport substances into a cell against the concentration gradient.

Does active Transportation require ATP?

During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is “active” because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP).
