Document Summary

One solute needs to get across the membrane against its concentration gradient. It needs energy or something to help it get across. It uses the potential energy from another solute"s concentration gradient. One going against its concentration gradient using the energy of the other one going along its concentration gradient. Antiport- both of them are going in the opposite direction. This requires energy and there"s two possible sources: Use the concentration gradient of another solute: secondary active transport. Using a direct energy input, such as atp: primary active transport. Every time calcium needs to get across against its concentration gradient, it uses the energy of the na going along its concentration gradient. Glucose needs to get into the intestinal epithelial cells. Glucose has a bit of permeability across the membrane, so in addition to not being permeable, now you"re going against the concentration gradient. It"s going to need something to propel it across the membrane.
