Flashcards- Digital File- AQA GCSE Combined Science- Active Transport

These flashcards are for AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464). They cover active transport.

You’ll learn what active transport is and how substances move against the concentration gradient from a low concentration to a high concentration. The flashcards explain that this process requires energy from respiration (ATP) and is used in cells to absorb important substances like minerals and glucose. You’ll also learn why active transport is essential in areas such as the roots of plants and the small intestine where substances need to be taken in even when concentrations are higher inside the cell.

🔑 Reminder: Don’t just read through these flashcards. Actively test yourself with them repeatedly for the best results.
