Source sentences:
text: There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.
text: Secondary active transport uses electrochemical gradients to transport substances with the help of a cotransporter.
text: The difference between primary and secondary active transport is that primary active transport utilizes ATP to uptake nutrients while secondary active transport utilizes the electrochemical gradient to uptake nutrients.
text: Secondary active transport (cotransport), on the other hand, uses an electrochemical gradient – generated by active transport – as an energy source to move molecules gainst their gradient, and thus does not directly require a chemical source of energy such as ATP.
text: They are primary active transport that uses ATP, and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.
text: Primary active transport uses energy (ATP) whereas, secondary active transport uses electrochemical gradient.
