Chapter 13, Problem 2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two forms of energy that can power active transport needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In the powering movement, there are two forms of energy which can power active transport. Moving of molecules from lower to higher concentration region across the membrane is the active transport which needs the energy of the cell to carry the active transport. Intestines normally take up the glucose which is an example of active transport.
