What are the two ways that the cell moves things by active transport?

Primary active transport and Secondary active transport.

Inside a cell things can be transported in two ways. The �rst is by di�usion in which

small molecules are released and just wander around. This is usually used for small
molecules like ATP which is the fuel that is used to power molecular motors. The second
way is through active transport that works like container shipping. Container shipping
revolutionized the shipping industry.

Primary active transport and secondary active transport!! Hope this helped!!! Even though I’m 10 years too late!!!! Lol :P

Hello!! I don't think that these are the Correct Answers...Please tell me the correct response :)

THANK u so much sara.. muchisimas gracias!!!

The two ways that cells can move substances through active transport are called primary active transport and secondary active transport.

To understand these two mechanisms, let's start with primary active transport. This process requires the direct input of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the cell's main energy source. In primary active transport, a protein pump embedded in the cell membrane uses ATP to move molecules or ions against their concentration gradient. This means that the substances are transported from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. An example of primary active transport is the sodium-potassium pump, which pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.

Secondary active transport, on the other hand, uses the electrochemical gradient established by primary active transport to move other substances across the cell membrane. This means that secondary active transport does not directly rely on ATP but utilizes the energy stored in the concentration gradient of another molecule. There are two types of secondary active transport: symport and antiport. In symport, the transported molecule moves in the same direction as the molecule that established the concentration gradient. In antiport, the transported molecule moves in the opposite direction. One example of secondary active transport is the sodium-glucose symporter, which uses the sodium gradient created by the sodium-potassium pump to transport glucose into the cell.

So, in summary, cells use primary active transport, which requires ATP, to move substances against their concentration gradient. They also use secondary active transport, which utilizes the electrochemical gradient established by primary active transport, to move other substances across the cell membrane.

By Primary active transport I mean that the cells use ATP to directly move materials across the membrane.

By Secondary source I mean that the cells use established concentration gradient to move materials across the membrane.
