Active Transport
Movement of molecules or ions across
the plasma membrane from a region
of lower concentration to a region of
higher concentration with the help of
carrier protein and use ATP energy.
The molecules move against the
concentration gradient

Mechanism of active transport
1. The molecule binds to an active site of
carrier protein.
2. Binding of the molecule to the carrier
protein causes an ATP to bind to the
other active site on carrier protein.
3. The carrier protein changes shape when
the phosphate group bind to it.
4. Carrier protein moves the molecule across
the membrane and releases the molecule
