Top explanations for Secondary Active Transport
Transport of Solutes and Water — Medical Physiology: A Cellular And Molecular Approaoch▶ 26:19You mentioned a second type of active transportRight, that's secondary active transportThis is a bit more indirect, but very cleverBiological Membranes and Transport: Lipid Bilayers, Membrane Dynamics, and Solute Transport Explained — Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry▶ 17:05The cell might use energy to pump one solute uphill, creating a gradient, and then the downhill flow of that solute is…That's secondary active transportIt uses energy stored in an existing gradientSolute Transport Mechanisms — Plant Physiology and Development▶ 14:36They can mediate passive transport, which is called facilitated diffusion, still moving downhill, just using the carrier to get acrossBut importantly, carriers are also responsible for secondary active transportAh, okay, we'll come back to that
