Active transport derives its energy from either the direct hydrolysis of ATP or the indirect coupling of transport with another molecule moving down its concentration gradient.
The energy required for active transport can be generated through two main mechanisms: the direct hydrolysis of ATP, or indirect coupling of transport with another molecule moving along its concentration gradient.
