value: against the concentration gradient
type: TRANSITIVE-OBJECT
Source sentences:
text: When active transport consumes chemical energy, as from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), it is called primary active transport, but when it uses an electrochemical gradient instead, it is known as secondary active transport.
text: Secondary active transport is the another type of active transport that uses the electrochemical gradient in the transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
