Active Transport in Humans and Plants

Active transport is important in many contexts.

Sugar absorption in human gut

Sugar absorption in human gut

  • Active transport allows sugar molecules, which are needed for cell respiration, to be absorbed from the gut and into the blood from the gut, even when the sugar concentration of the blood is higher.
Mineral absorption in plants

Mineral absorption in plants

  • Active transport in the root hairs of plants means that plants are able to absorb mineral ions that are necessary for healthy growth, even though the concentration of minerals is usually lower in the soil than in the root hair.
