Introduction

All higher species, including plants, animals, and people, engage in transportation as a necessary, physiological function. This process is crucial for maintaining life since it continually transports various necessary components, such as cells, tissues, and organs, to and from every region of the body. Active transport is characterized as a process in which molecules are moved using external energy from an area of lower concentration to a region of greater concentration in opposition to a gradient or an obstruction.
