type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: Contrary to passive transport, which takes place with the assistance of kinetic energy and natural entropy of particles moving down an angle, active transport utilizes cell energy to move the atoms against a gradient, polar aversion, or other obstruction.
text: The difference is that active transport actually uses the cell's energy (ATP or electrochemical gradient) to pump the substance across the membrane.
