“Active Transport” “The movement of particle from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration by using energy.” Active transport is involved in a number of processes occurring within an organism This includes the absorption of: Dissolved mineral salts by the root hairs, Glucose and amino acids by cells in the small intestine of humans by villi Fig. 2.4 Active transport-molecules diffuse against the concentration gradient from B to A.
