Active transport is the engine that allows cells to control their internal environment regardless of external conditions.
Active transport is a biological process in which molecules move across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. Unlike passive transport (such as diffusion), which moves molecules "down" the concentration gradient, active transport moves molecules "against" the gradient. 3 types of active transport
In the world of cellular biology, survival is often a matter of moving against the flow. While passive transport allows substances to drift through cell membranes with no energy required, is the cell's way of forcing molecules to go where they are needed most—even if that means pushing them from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
