Sodium concentrations are higher outside and glucose concentrations are higher inside the cell. Using the same membrane protein for Na+ and glucose transport, what is it called when a Na+ electrochemical gradient is used to drive glucose transport into the cell against its concentration gradient?

Answer:

It is called active transport when glucose is transported into the cell against its concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The cell must use energy to transport a substance against an electrochemical or concentration gradient. Active transport mechanisms spend energy in the form of ATP to maintain the correct concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells.
