27 In fact, a CDC analysis of flu vaccine effectiveness for the past decade â from 2005 to 2015 - demonstrated that more than half the time, seasonal flu shots are less than 50 percent effective!

Active transport is a method of cell transport that requires energy. Energy is expended because the cell has to move materials from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Imagine you have 5 large marshmallows in your mouth.
Active transport is usually associated with accumulating high concentrations of molecules that the cell needs, such as ions, glucose and amino acids. If the process uses chemical energy, such as from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), it is termed primary active transport.f substrate molecules are moving from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration (i.e., in the opposite direction as, or against the concentration gradient), specific transmembrane carrier proteins are required.
