Concentration gradients of solutes from source to sink are maintained by enzymes that alter solutes at the sink, for example by breaking them down or changing them into something else, thus maintaining a lower concentration at the sink.
Os gradientes de concentração de solutos da fonte para o local de armazenamento (sink) são mantidos por enzimas que alteram os solutos no sink, por exemplo, decompondo-os ou convertendo-os noutra coisa, mantendo assim uma concentração mais baixa no sink.

|---|---|
| Back | Enzymes maintain a concentration gradient by changing the solute at the sink e.g. by breaking them down or making them into something else therefore the sink will have a lower concentration gradient than the source |
