	Transport Across Cell Membranes
		Active transport is the pumping of molecules or ions through a membrane against their concentration gradient.
		Direct active transport of the ion establishes a concentration gradient.
		The Na /glucose transporter is used to actively transport glucose out of the intestine and also out of the kidney tubules and back into the blood.

	Active transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Active transport is the mediated transport of biochemicals, and other atomic/molecular substances, across membranes.
		The active transport of small molecules or ions across a cell membrane is generally carried out by transport proteins that are found in the membrane.
		In secondary active transport, there is however no direct coupling of ATP; instead, the electrochemical potential difference created by pumping ions out of cells is used.

		Transport of the products of digestion through the wall of the small intestine may be either passive or active.

	5 Membrane Transport Mechanisms
		Active transport requires the expenditure of energy to transport the molecule from one side of the membrane to the other, but active transport is the only type of transport that can actually take molecules up their concentration gradient as well as down.
		Similarly to facillitated transport, active transport is limited by the number of protein transporters present.
		Secondary active transport involves using energy to establish a gradient across the cell membrane, and then utilizing that gradient to transport a molecule of interest up its concentration gradient.

	CAMWEST Features — Transport and Health
		Active transport, walking and cycling, is the way to go: it will keep people active sustainably, because it becomes part of everyday life.
		Transport can be health promoting especially if car dependence is avoided and greater opportunity is made of active transport, the use of public transport, cycling and walking.
		Active Transport, a health term, is defined as physical activity undertaken as a means of transport and not purely as a form of recreation.

	Membrane Transport Mechanisms (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The center of the barrel could constitute a hole in the plasma membrane that is isolated from the lipid bilayer by an array of transmembrane domains around it.
		Similarly to facilitated transport, active transport is limited by the number of protein transporters present.
		Primary active transport involves using energy (usually through ATP hydrolysis) at the membrane protein itself to cause a conformational change that results in the transport of the molecule through the protein.

	Transport protein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transport protein is a protein involved in the movement of a chemical across a biological membrane.
		Transport proteins are also used in active transport, which by definition requires an energy input.
		A symporter/coporter transports a chemical in the same direction as the electrochemical gradient, while an antiporter moves the target chemical in a direction opposite to the gradient.

	active transport (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Active transport refers to a process in which a substances is transported across a membrane by the use of an integral membrane protein (or protein complex) that has ATPase activity.
		The ATPase activity of the transport protein makes it possible for the substance to be transported against a concentration gradient of that substance.
		ATP is required because the movement of a substance against a concentration gradient of that substance is an endergonic process.

	Botany online: Membranes and Transport - Active Transport (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Active transport is the movement of a molecule across a membrane or another barrier that is driven by energy other than stored in the concentration gradient or the electrochemical gradient of the transported molecule.
		A proton is transported into a compartment and the energy for the transport is supplied by the simultaneous transport of an anion or a substrate molecule in the same direction.
		The transport is initiated by a chemical reaction during which the substrate is 'phosphorylated into the cell'.

	TRANSPORT MECHANISMS
		Ion transport (for the most part ion transport is under the same principles as discussed for facilitated diffusion and the to be discussed phenomenon of active transport)
		Active transport - the use of energy in forcing a molecule across a membrane.
		Active transport can be used to develop a charge gradient if the molecule being actively transported is an ion.

	active transport
		The pumping of individual ions or other molecules across a cell membrane, through the use of a protein, from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.
		Because the ion or molecule is moved in a direction other than the one in which simple diffusion would take it, this transport requires energy, which is typically supplied by the expenditure of ATP.
		Primary active transport uses energy directly to convey molecules across a membrane.

		Exchange of molecules through membranes depends on highly specific transport systems, prominent representatives of this group are the porines that extensively have been studied in bacteria.
		It is also spoken of an active transport in contrast to passive transport that occurs only in the direction of the concentration gradient.
		Active transport can be understood when knowing structure and function of integral proteins and the electrochemical properties of the membrane while the understanding of energy transformation requires information about all the molecules within the respective membrane.

	Active Transport
		Active transport involves expenditure of metabolic energy to move ions or other solutes across membranes against their electrochemical gradient.
		In such cases, the free energy released during the transport of ions down an electrochemical gradient is used to pump other ions or molecules up their electrochemical gradient.
		Sodium-proton cotransport involves transport of a sodium ion into the cell coupled to transport of a hydrogen ion out of the cell; both ions are transported by the same carrier protein.

	Active Transportation
		This publication discusses the health and environmental effects of transportation including noise, accidents and injuries, air pollution, mental health issues, and the role of walking and bicycling.
		Neighborhood comparison and correlational studies with nonmotorized transport outcomes are considered, with evidence suggesting that residents from communities with higher density, greater connectivity, and more land use mix report higher rates of walking/cycling for utilitarian purposes than low-density, poorly connected, and single land use neighborhoods.
		This research shows that transportation costs are highest in sprawling places, while less sprawling places that offer a variety of transportation alternatives cost families less.

		Active transport is the carriage of a solute across a biological membrane from low to high concentration that requires the expenditure of (metabolic) energy.
		A bioprecursor prodrug is a prodrug that does not imply the linkage to a carrier group, but results from a molecular modification of the active principle itself.
		A carrier-linked prodrug is a prodrug that contains a temporary linkage of a given active substance with a transient carrier group that produces improved physicochemical or pharmacokinetic properties and that can be easily removed in vivo, usually by a hydrolytic cleavage.

	The Pedestrian Council : Information Sheet on Active Transport and Walking
		Use of public transport is also included in the definition as it often involves some walking or cycling to pick-up and from drop-off points.
		The car oriented design inherent in transportation systems and perceived lack of choice by individuals has seen increasing reliance on the car, associated traffic congestion, less walking of short distances and increased sedentary behaviour as we spend more time driving.
		Walking should be a primary and vital transport mode, part of every journey, yet it has been virtually forgotten as we have increasingly become a car-dependent culture.

		Ions and large food particles must be transported into a cell across membranes generally impermeable to them.
		Waste products must be removed from the cytoplasm, and other molecules or ions are actively pumped in one direction or the other to create concentration gradients which can be used to do other tasks.
		Membranal carriers, transmembranal proteins or peripheral proteins, are able to change shape in such a way as to open a passage for a specific molecule, allowing it to diffuse from one side of the membrane to the other.
