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.
Transporting substances across the plasma membrane can require that the cell use some of its energy. If energy is used, the transport is called active. If molecules can pass through the plasma membrane without using energy, the molecules are using passive transport. Helping the molecules across: Active transport Sometimes, the molecules are just too big to easily flow across the plasma membranes or dissolve in the water so that they can be filtered through the membrane.
