Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between secondary and primary active transport.
Introduction:
The process of movement of molecules against their concentration gradient across a membrane is known as active transport. It helps in marinating the homeostasis inside the body. It is of two types, namely, primary as well as secondary active transport.
