Examples of 'active transport' in a sentence

Meaning of "active transport"

In biology, this phrase refers to the movement of molecules or ions across cell membranes against a concentration gradient. It involves the use of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to transport substances from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Active transport is a vital process in maintaining the balance and functionality of living cells
