Description: (a) During primary active transport, a pump directly uses energy, in this case from ATP, and generates a gradient. The pump shown here uses ATP to establish an H+ electrochemical gradient. (b) Secondary active transport via symport involves the use of this gradient to drive the active transport of a solute, such as sucrose.
