What is the difference between primary active and secondary active transport?
Primary active transport directly uses energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. In contrast, secondary active transport uses the energy stored in an electrochemical gradient, typically created by primary active transport, to drive the movement of molecules across the membrane. Therefore, primary active transport requires energy input directly, while secondary active transport relies on the pre-existing energy gradient.
